I knew there had to be something funny going on when they stopped posting to social media. They had not made a post in like 3 or 4 months.

Dan left for Armory 219 around the Valpo Show.I knew there had to be something funny going on when they stopped posting to social media. They had not made a post in like 3 or 4 months.
I thought they were both bought by the same people.Different owners, not sure. Last time I was in valpo they had less inventory than me
Kalashnikov USA just pulled the same move. Made a big order with them 2 months ago and got my delivery within two weeks. Put another order in 5 weeks ago with no response. So I sent an email about my order 2 weeks ago and have yet to receive a reply. Checked some articles and turns out they basically went belly up…..so I’m guessing I’m screwed out of my order?I knew there had to be something funny going on when they stopped posting to social media.

Most companies won't warn employees ahead of a closure.No warning. What a **** move
Haven’t been to either of those establishments since Tim from MAC had his shop in the back room at the Valpo store. Both of those places always had overpriced products and bad costumer service. Which is sad because the Griffith store was minutes from me.
Blythe's Athletics is still open according to facebook.Is it confirmed that the Valpo Blythe’s closed, too? If so, is it just the gun shop or is the sporting goods section downstairs closed also?
It's not personal it's buisnessNo warning. What a **** move
jedi cynical mind smells this is the long game for the anti-2a.That's been my experience with both stores the last couple years. I'm not sure what the new owners gained by purchasing either/or of the stores and then failing to purchase inventory. I'd be curious as to the details if anyone ever hears about it. It's an interesting dynamic, buying and selling businesses.

A good buisness owner would give some notice to shutting down for good. Guaranteed it wasn't a last minute decision. I'm sure there was some "writing on the wall" however.It's not personal it's buisness
I expected that.

Still say it's a total dick move
Crazy the shop I run with a total of 2 employees, counting me, has been around 50+ years. I've been there 23 of themBut that is a dying breed and those business do not last.
I never been to the Griffith location and it's probably been 10 years since been to Valparaiso location. I do assume, from comments on here, the writing was on the wall, however, letting your employees show up for work the next day, knowing your gonna send them home, is a complete dick move.If the writings been on the wall for a long time, then the employees were no offense f-ing stupid. They should’ve been able to see it a mile away. I mean, come on everybody’s been bitching about inventory levels at those two stores for a couple years…. the employees didn’t know what was going on. Give me a break.
Both locations are closed. Griffith, in the past few years, was only good for 1st time gun owners and ammo dumps to build supply during the 'crisis.' Too far for me to justify grabbing a box or 2.So, Valparaiso is closed now too? The picture was Griffith but wanted to check. Or does anyone know for sure? I can swing by tomorrow since I work nearby
