Dealer consolidation continues (Bud's HD)
The Schipper family recently bought out Bud's Harley Davidson in Evansville, Indiana. I was talking to Ryan Mitchell (GM at Harley Davidson of Fort Wayne) yesterday and he brought this up. Besides the four dealerships they now have (Evansville, Fort Wayne, Louisville, St. Louis) they also bought out River City HD in New Haven, IN and consolidated into HD FW a few years ago. I guess the dealership business is good.

That's the way of the world now.
Buy the competition, monopolize an area or commodity. Set your price. Save a bunch of money on customer service, (please hold for next available operator) staffing (no longer need the best), and advertising (where else are you going to go? We own it too!)
