Title: FatMan Fabrication Suspensions
Post by: Crosley.In.AZ on January 01, 2025, 11:41:30 AM
I just read that Fatman Fabrication closed up...  Gone.. Poof..  Bankruptcy ?

We had a 57 year old performance center here close up.  Chucks Speed Center and RV has been closed by Chucks widow. Auction on everything happens this month.  Chuck died in 2022 at age 80

Looks like a bankruptcy. https://www.fatmanfab.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooaKPZKvvPYN1knV4xwneVbhLkWm7dO_91FQiO7pkY0MQE7ahJz

Numerous national businesses are reducing operations right now, mostly due to "anticipated challenges" expected in 2025. It's my understanding Autozone is closing 700 stores, but it's happening in a variety of businesses. I've also heard of a number of investment gurus pulling money out of stocks and putting it into bonds...Warren Buffett for one. I'm not saying we're on the edge of a recession, but I'm also not saying I'd be surprised. On that basis I've moved a bigger chunk of my retirement account into bonds than I've had at any point previously.

I read Advance Auto is closing hundreds of "under performing" stores.

You're right, it's Advance Auto rather than Autozone.

Ah ! Ok.. It would not surprise me if AutoZone closed some stores..  Out here in central Arizona , AutoZone was almost like Walgreens or CVS stores.  Nearly each street corner had an AutoZone
