Great big space and a bar with 'zoning' and reg issues with city...too bad..

With this big space we ran into problems with the bar in regards to the city. In the end, the requirements from the city to keep the bar going are too great for a business like ours to take on. We don't own the building, so the expense for upgrades and the change to the layout does not make sense."

Couldn't keep the bar..so closing..seems a little odd to me. More of a 'club house/bar' than bike shop. IMHO
Plus brands=high volume, high turnover type..gets' expensive to build, sell, service...$500-$700 bikes.
