Sorry if I'm jumping here late, but are some of the stores going to be
re-opening under a different name? I always used to go the Manchester, CT
store and would love to see something there.


No not really. Woodworkers Warehouse is dead...totally. However, the
fellow who was my area manager has set up a partnership of some kind
with the guy who owns a string of stores in the northwest called
Western Tool Supply. He plans on opening around 11 stores right away
with hopefully 30 in all within a year or so. There won't be one in
Manchester as far as I know. What I was told was that the first ones
would be in Old Saybrook, Ct., Hyannis, Mass., and Port Chester, NY.
Also about 8 other locations that I wasn't told specifically which
ones. I believe he kind of took a look at the top performing stores in
the WWW operation and is trying to obtain the leases of those former
WWW stores. Some he got and some he wasn't able to get.

We'll see how this goes. I sincerely hope it all works out!
