He has been threatening to pull the plug for a couple of years and with his departure will there be anyone between John's Sporting Goods in Everett and Outdoor Emporium (the latter being an insane choice given its location)?


Mike has been talking about pulling the plug on Ted's for as long as I've known him, and that dates back to the mid-80's. He did tell me, probably 20 years ago, that the bulk of his revenue comes from sales to Alaska. BUT, yes, it sucks as he often had gear the other shops lacked. But I guess you don't need to buy gear unless you just enjoy collecting it.
