Sounds like the Pro's Closet is going out of business. It is a shame. A solid business idea. Seems like another victim of Covid related boom and bust and maybe got a little to far over their skis.

I was in Boulder last week and almost stopped in to see if they had a photo of Dan Williams on the wall in the Customer of the Year area

James Huang's recent Instagram story said something about the Pros Closet having had a good run. He is an insider there in Boulder so maybe he knows something that hasn't been publicly announced yet.

It seems he's still reviewing stuff and posting on IG.

I do wonder if his role with Escape Collective was always intended to be a short term, get them off the ground and running with a planned exit.

I think his post may be about the end of summer sale TPS is having and not necessarily about TPC closing. It took a few minutes to figure it out. Not the best "influencer" content if that is the case.

I also saw his insta post yesterday, and I also interpreted as meaning they are closing down

He has a lot of followers. Regardless of the case, what his intentions were or what insider knowledge he has of TPC, it was irresponsible of him to start a rumor with a post like that.

IMO.

James’s post is pretty clear, but I haven’t seen anything elsewhere. Hope it’s not true. They seem to employ a bunch of bike lovers.
