Default Email from Chicago HD

I've been getting email from them every since I bought a jacket from them back in 2010 when they still did 20% off, mostly just deleted them since they stopped. Today I happened to look at the content and I see something new - under the banner of Fox Powersports are two shops, not two Chicago HD shops as they do or did have two stores but one Chicago HD and the other is Lake Shore HD. So this would explain why LSHD got out of the internet discount business. Looks like new ownership rather that corporate orders in play here. Not only that but from the number of jobs being advertised in the same message, it looks like they may have cleaned house and fired nearly everyone. Maybe the old LSHD people with move their show elsewhere like happened with New Castle.

Yeah, I called LSHD about two months ago and they told me new ownership discontinued the 20% off discount on internet purchases. They still have 10% off for some groups but with others offering 20% for everyone, why bother?

Used to use them but new owners took care of that. In my experience when shops have that kind of turnover there is a serious management problem somewhere.
