forthlin Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 I get models once in a while at Phils hobby shop in Ft. Wayne { 45 miles east of here } & they're actually opening a third store because business is so good. It seems most posts have shops closing up. I'm hoping this is a good sign & more start opening around the country.
rmvw guy Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Not that far from here, will have to check it out, thanks for the good news.
gtx6970 Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) We had one open up locally about a year ago. price wise he's in the hunt on most stuff, but a bit pricey on others. He just doesn't stock as deep in plastic kits as " I " would like , but he is open to suggestions and is willing to alter stock ' if ' it sells Edited June 18, 2012 by gtx6970
Foxer Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 That's really good to hear. Ft. Wayne was the "big city" when I was in college (Angola) and glad to see the hobby is safe there!
Guest Johnny Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 My sis-in-law and her husband just opened one in Watseka IL.

charlie8575 Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 This is indeed good news. Let's hope it is a reversal of a trend. Charlie Larkin
