It's a great store, but I'm not sure it will have the volume of sales required to sustain itself. Fantastic place for DIY's, and I sure love their return policy, but people taking up fun "projects", in the middle of a downturn in an economy, are exceedingly rare. Not many people dumping wadloads of cash into a hobby.
Truly sad if it doesn't stick around, because their lifetime warranty on the tools and bits makes it worthwhile.
For my fellow Canadians who have one in their hometown, I noticed a HUGE leaning torwards tools, trailering, and farm equipment. Are all PA's setup the same way?
