M&D's, closing

[jhndoe]

M&D  has been my favorite bait and tackle for many years. Prices were great and Mike is very helpful and friendly.  Hopefully whoever buys it is like him.  I've  wondered into Red Top numerous times over many years. I am always ignored. The day I saw an employee berate a customer to others in the shop after he left, was the last time I went in.

It's a sad time indeed. M&D's was the best shop around and the prices were good. The friendliness was genuine too. He didn't burn the canal like some of the other local shops did either. 

 

Thank you for everything all these years. You will be missed Mike!

 

I wish I bought more of his jigheads now. I'd buy 100 of them if I could.

Awful news. Great people and a great shop. Will truly be missed

Here's an article that the local paper has run.

Jigger judging from that story the store still might find some life if the right person comes along and buys Mike Out . This may well be an opportunity for some one to engage in a old bait and tackle shop that has a good customer base and has a good background in helping plug builders get established as well. I wonder  if the building in the back would be part of the business or just the store in the front? It would be a shame to lose such a place after many years of active sales.

Anyone know what they are asking?

I looked online but couldn’t find any listings for the business or property.  

Wishing Mike and his family well in all their future endeavors.  Only had a chance to meet him a couple of times but always a pleasure.

It’s sad to see Mike go. He was the real deal and he ran a very good business with excellent customer service. Also, he carried hardware to repair plugs!

I was told it was a little over 250,000. It was in some local paper ? perhaps some one may have seen the add and post the right number

[bob_G]

They're asking $259000.

Thanks for the correct numbers and that sounds like a good number for what is there. Did it say both buildings in the advertisement?

I wish I was 30 years younger.

I spoke with Mike last Saturday and he told me he has had several offers, but they all wanted him to stay on and run the shop (something he is not interested in doing).
