Its called morgan's.
Also all pepboys stores are becoming speedshops, but the problem is they will not price match online deals, but seen plenty of gaskets and arp head bolts for anyone doing the hci on their projects.

If they stop selling performance parts then they'd lose a lot of business

Just talked to my boy who worked there up untill today and this is what he said

"New owners. Won't be the same as before. We all got laid off with 6 hours notice. Kinda saw it coming though. We can reapply for a position with the new company but it won't open for at least 1-2 months."

All the speed shops are dying....they cannot compete with the internet.
There is no money is performace parts.
You must have labor to survive.
I've been in this business for 13yrs.

I called Saturday at 2 got a quote and was told to come in Monday and talk to Rich. Got there at 3 it was all bad. Now i need 3 things and gotta wait for Summit. I hope whoever owns them now watches these boards and can see we need that hi performance store and not just another parts place.

Mark was an OG in there, I bet he'll be back in there when it opens, or he probably bought it out lol

I pass by yesterday and there was a sign on the door that read "Closed for remodeling" and I'm just shaking my head like [BS flag]
