Angelenos, great reloading store closing 7/3/04

[rayra]

For those in the greater Los Angeles area - The Reloading Center, located in Northridge, is slated to close on July 3rd.
The owner is retiring and relocating out of state, and has decided to close. As of yet no serious potential bidders for the business have appeared.

The Reloading Center was a great supply store, having everything under the sun for Reloaders. They'd been in business for over a dozen years, through the thick of (firearm-related) business-hostile actions of L.A. City and County, and the State.

There isn't another store of its size or selection within at least a 1000 square miles. What few gun stores remain in L.A. County have a woefully limited selection of dusty reloading merchandise.

What's my connection? Nothing further than dropping by today and discovering the stunning and disappointing news. An occasional shopper there, a happy customer. Soon-to-be-formerly happy customer.

So I thought I'd give locals a 'heads up', 142 shopping days left before we are stuck with little other than mail order.

I wish I had known about this place when I lived out there. I never heard of it. I lived in Bakersfield for the 12 years preceding the 2 I have been here. I grew up and lived in Pasadena for most of my life. It would have been a drive to get there but probably worth it. I used to make the drive down to B & B Sales now and again. Too bad places like this go an no one picks up.
