BRT Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I don't think I will be going there with Mike being forced out. Jonny5, Not sure why this would be a factor in your decision to not go to Troutfitters? There are always three sides of the story with situations like this. Both sides will have a different perspective and there is the truth. People do not get forced out of their shops or companies if they are doing a stellar job or do they? So if Mike was forced out, what did or didn't he do to warrant his partners to get him out? It isn't a usual occurence for one owner to be ousted for a unjustifiable cause; it is too costly of a venture to perform that task. However, that is none of our business. I will have to admit that every time I went into the old Troutfitters I appreciated the great customer service that I received regardless of if I was asking for river reports or was buying a rod. Regardless, I wish the new store luck with their future endeavours and hope that people who are condemning the shop with only one side of the arguement can try to look at the larger picture of what occurred here. We have gotten back a great resource for what was too long of a break. Ciao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully those who choose not to go for whatever reason will keep their decision to themselves and not turn this thread into a *hit show. I'll stop by and check it out when I have a chance.
