Hi Solar Cycles
Its a small industry really and we retailers tend to rub along ok... It helps as when we have a problem sometimes another retailer can help you out which in the long run this helps our customers. The new owner of one of the larger outdoor leisure retailers seems to be rubbing some retailers up the wrong way but he's proberly just trying to do his thing, Ive not met him and he's no doubt a nice guy when you meet him, who knows. I think he thought he could make a load of money in the outdoor leisure trade but theres a saying in the outdoor leisure trade (all retail) that says "if you want to make a small fortune in the outdoor trade then start with a large fortune" lol.
Anyway, it is good when we retailers help each other and I have to say Dave from Outdoorworldditect is a good guy and cares about his customers as much as I think I do.
