I’ve got an idea that Ashley isn’t going to dumb Evans down too much. If they did just start selling Dunlop clunkers and the like, they’d just be pitching themselves alongside Halfords, which would be pointless. It’ll be interesting to see which suppliers and brands will stick with them once his plans become clear. I’m guessing the Pinnacle brand will disappear too.
Personally, as a London LBS it’s good news for us in some ways. We get a lot of bikes in with Evans stickers on as the customer doesn’t want to put up with their customer service any more. However I suspect it might mean more people sourcing their own parts online and bringing them to us to fit. Time will tell.
