It never made sense to keep the Pineda HD Shop open after the new Palm Bay store opened.
The same owner also opened a place in Cocoa Beach, which meant there were 3 HD dealerships within 15 miles of each other. Not surprised he decided to close one of them.

Your right. The Palm Bay shop is much bigger and nicer makes sense they would close the little place. I think the store in Cocoa is clothing only.
