Motomarket going out of business?

[zachary6]

I heard a disturbing rumor today from someone who lives in Acton that motomarket is closing down this spring? Say it ain't so, it is literally my favorite destination point and where I have purchased almost all of my gear. Any one out there please kill this rumor and tell me it isn't true.

I hope its not i like going there to watch races n such, although it would be understandable I don't feel like that place makes an awful lot of profit

[ultraTwist]

Please no.

I hope not....

Man what a huge loss that would be, disturbing to even consider it.

I never knew how it made money

Like most high end retail, hope to manage you inventory well and have high mark ups. That and they sell coffee and the Ironstone people send students up.

WTF who is gonna fix my Arai NOW....and what other shops have such a cool set up NONE........

[akira700]

Well there's only one solution to this situation
isn't there?

If indeed there's some truth to this. We all need to get up there and
buy that thing that you were going to Internet and buy it
face to face in Acton ! To tell the truth its not going to be me anytime soon
unless someone hooks me up with new cash flow. My $3 for lattes now
and then are probably not paying the rent.

But indeed it would be a shame to see it go. They may just need a new
business plan with alternative streams of revenue.

This would definitely be sad.

I don't live close enough to get there much, but everytime I've been there it's been a cool experience.

As mentioned above, the economy has made this a critical time for many businesses... and with most consumers cutting back on overall spending... it has never been more important to support the companies you want to survive.

Hopefully, something will turn around for them (or this is just a rumor and not true?).

Great place. Hope the news is wrong

[hurstshifter]

I was just planning on visiting motomarket for the first time this week. Damn

[bigred875]

that is sad..that place is great, hopefully this is just a rumor.

Kham - I got the joke

[spicy]

hopefully it's a rumor. my brother's hoping to get there in the next few weeks to get a new arai and possibly some new gloves/other gear.

hopefully my budget can swing it also, as i'd like some new boots.

A co worker of mine called MM yesterday to ask about this rumor and the owner emphatically denied it.
