Central workshop was fun. I had a great time there with some people who really knew their shit, but the logistics and servicing structure of the whole thing made it unfeasible.
They believed it should make the same amount of money as a store. It didn't, and management didn't understand that.
They also failed to grasp the point that workshops generally don't make as much money as selling bikes.
@jackbepablo Yup, that was one of the fundamental issues. If you you genuinely cared and were frustrated enough that you actively wanted to help change things for the positive, you were better off talking to a wall.
I don't think it'll go, but if Evans does disappear, it'll leave quite a big vacuum in some fantastic locations.
