It is always sad ! We hate to see any business close and parts divided up and out. It is so final ! Clubs often have the best and latest equipment inventory, selection too. Before getting to this point, we often advise looking at outside revenue opportunities. In many communities there are commercial properties, private homes and government agencies that can use a contractor to maintain properties at a discount. With a little bit of scheduling genious, machinery flow charts and budgeting magic a club could find some added cash flow. Adversity can bring great achievement. Realizing the adversity is approaching can bring even greater achievement.
