AG up for sale

They've just opened a new one in Swindon, so there are now two within 5 minutes drive, not been in either as I tend to use another local shop.
 
The one at MK just went through a very big refit including some very good trackman bays and improved clothing areas

The problem with the ones in the north east, the range of clothes is poor and limited. Clubs can be bought elsewhere cheaper.
Don’t know what they are like in other parts of the country, but if it’s like the north east it’s not surprising they are struggling.

Have you been to Metrocentre Gateshead, as they have a decent line of clothing
 
I was in the Gosforth store on Saturday and I was surprised at how poor the selection of clothing is.

It would be a shame if they went out of business purely for all the staff, but as a business I doubt many would miss it. Over priced, poor selection of product.
 
AG have been struggling for years, the signs have been there, ever reduced selection of clothing and stock of gloves/balls, hardly any new clubs in stock etc. 10 years ago they stocked everything, now you walk in and they might not have any pro vs or they only stalk 3 brands of clothing. They used to have great Xmas/January sales but the last 3/4 years not had very good sales atall. They desperately need a quick sale as far as i know, don't think Ashley would touch them pre-administration and I'm not sure there will be any other viable buyers
 
Well, I was in AG Sunderland today and all looked ok to me.
They have the latest mizuno 919 jpx iron, along with titleist.

Good selection of second hand trade ins, as you would expect, but all presented well.
Overall place looked tidy 👍
 
"
Turnaround investor Endless has beaten Sports Direct tycoon Mike Ashley to the clubhouse by sealing a cut-price takeover of American Golf, the UK’s biggest specialist golf retailer.

Sky News has learnt that Endless has struck a deal to take control of American Golf through a pre-pack administration."

Does that mean some or all of AGs creditors are going to get shafted? Can't see the big suppliers being happy about that if it is the case.
 
It's a chance to close the shop's that aren't profitable, clear the deadwood, squeeze the landlords regarding rent. The first two should have been done previously as a matter of course.

I hope they come through leaner, fitter and able to survive.

Funny enough only saw an advert this week that they were recruiting for a new Assitant manager with fantastic prospects :ROFLMAO:

Sad news is that was about to become my new local one, best find another then for my bargains
