Boater's World stores closing: Article

Yes, I agree, their *stores* (read: brick and mortar buildings) have closed.

But it would appear that their internet marketing outlet (on-line store) hasn't closed.

Ritz and Boater's World online is a different company than the brick and mortar stores. They make a point of that fact on their websites.

Have you tried to buy anything? Out of Stoct on every item, maybe holding on to look for a come back?

Hmm...

Looks like stuff's in stock to me. Am I missing something?

There's some stuff currently in stock, about 20 - 30 % . I'm not sure if that number is growing or old stock. Seems like most of what is in stock is big ticket electronics.

Apparently, Ritz Camera has been busy these last few years.

Compare these two identical pages. One from Boaters World, and the other from eAngler. A coincidence? I think not.

Strange Looks like Ritz has been busy and is dead set into getting in the boating equipment business But then again I had never heard of Ritz Camera so maybe branching out is not a bad idea for them
