Amerang, the wholesale subdivision of Model Zone has been sold as a going concern to a competitor, Ripmax. There were no bids for the company as a whole.
It looks like it's the end for the 47 shops and they are all subject to a closing down scale. Paint products and glues are on offer at a 40% discount.
Shops will start closing in a matter of weeks and office staff have already been made redundant.
Shame, our local store was pretty friendly. Picked clean of the good stuff by the time I went past.
ReplyDeleteAll deliveries stop and then all this is left is the stuff that hasn't sold.
DeleteI suspect that Vladd309 is right, all the decent things will have already gorn.
ReplyDeletePlenty of Tamiya/Humbrol spray paints and other paint products at half price.
DeleteShame for the staff but they were pricey, am going to Nottingham tomorrow so will look in
ReplyDeleteIan
Might be worth a look.
DeleteIt is a crying shame as it is the only model shop in Leicester and I think the whole of Leicestershire. Actually the paints are 50% off.
ReplyDeleteYes, the 40 was a typo, sorry.
