property in Compton is cheap, there are quite a few large factories and warehouses there. this warehouse was massive, and supplied most of the southwestern US.

I have not heard of anymore warehouses or stores getting shut down lately, the CEO of 4WP told us things within the company are looking good and stable and we are making money. I know companies like Fabtech, Superlift, and a few gear companies are looking at or already going bankrupt. Trans-America just picked up G2 and a couple more companies to go along with the many they already have.

Compton College looks like a nice campus, LOL. I know what you mean though. Where the 4wp is/was did not look like too bad of an area.

This was not a huge warehouse that shut down it was the corporate offices of 4WD, 4WP, Smitty Built, Pro Comp etc and they did not shut down they just "down sized" and moved in to the huge ware house next door. So they all share the ware house and they leased out the old building. So basically they got to big and when the economy went down they said OH S@%T what do we do now, and thats one of the ways they "cut costs".

Just found out our store in Boise is closing on Sat. Too bad will have to do all my ordering off the net now, no quick trips to pick up a part.

 

[JRW7072009]

Yes they are closing 4 more stores one in Florida, So Cal, Idaho and some where back east I cant remember. Well according to corporate they are closing the Idaho store and consolidating the other 3.

Is 4wp going out of business or just really re-adjusting their business plan and approach in the market
