Good. Their reductions were unsustainable and probably quite damaging to smaller bike shops. Can’t begrudge anyone who grabbed a bargain though!
thats the reason Hope stopped supply. Halfords procurment essentially went to Hope and said ‘We’re Britains biggest bike retailer, and we are going to have (another) try at being a proper bike shop. What prefferential discount are you going to give us?’ (may not have been worded exactly like that, but you ge the idea).
Hope told them to do one, as they preffered to look after the LBS, so Halfords promptly started liquidating all their stock, hence all the discounts.
Well done Hope.
(And, err, thanks Halfords for my district 3 @ 30% off… 😳 )
