Figured something like that (A&B). None of the reps had much grease on it out here though, haven't seen Dale in a while so I couldn't ask him.
It is interesting to watch what some of the medium sized vendors are doing nowdays... around here there are still a couple "mom and pop" style stores, but they have to be suffering with an FS, Visions, and us here. I mean they do have their regulars, but they only buy so much. There are only 3 main shops as far as car installs, couple car dealerships hack away as well. No independant back yard types any more that I know of.
Just isn't like it was 10 years ago, that's for sure.

Yeah.... knew about that one.
Really wierd location. Weren't they in Gillam's old place on Portage? Can;t quite remember. They didn't even last that long, like what, 2 years? I'm still surprised that the two little independants are still open here. It wasn't good for them when it was just us (Krazy's) and Visions, but now that FS is here, their dime is getting pretty thin. The one place should be ok as they still do service, and are a full line Matsu****a dealer, but the other joint is relying on Pioneer and Toshiba to carry them.... newsflash.... we don't even move that much Pio stuff, and there is no money in Toshiba (or any TV).

Edit: Metafilter must not like the name of the Panasonic/Quasar parent corporation very much....
