Well, the news will spread, so here it is. San Jose Fly Shop(Fly Fishig Specialties) will be closing in a few months unless there is a buyer in the future.
IMHO, the owner(s) ran it into the ground. Probably too much rent, did not market correctly, have a terrible website, and were horrible with inventory. The fall of customer service, which was discussed earlier, did not help matters either.
This is quite a shame and a reflection on ownership because this is happening without any real competition in the area - between the Midge, Ernie’s and Upstream all closing their doors. How can the 10th largest city in the country, with some of the incredible fishing within a few hours drive not support 1 shop, even with the economy the way it is?
So which one of you wants to open up a new fly shop? I am not sure I would call it a gold mine waiting to be had, but at least a silver mine…
