Jensen's is closing for good. Looks like there liquidating there stock and closing the doors. Really sucks they were the top shop up this way for years.

After around 2006ish, I rarely saw their ads, listings (gb, ga, armslist, etc) nor forum activities.

Really sorry to hear that, was my go to store for a long time but haven't been going there recently due to limited product on hand. Seamed they were trying to hold on to see if the market would recover.

Supposedly everything will be marked down to 10% above cost.

Unfortunately, saw this happening about 6-8 months ago.

Between online sales and no threat of an anti gun as CIC sales across the board have been flat. Wouldn't be surprised to see other places cut back on inventory, personnel as well as hours.

Had to look at the link... down here south of the Palmer Divide we have never heard of the place

Wonder where Shea and .... always forget the asian guys name will end up. Been there longer than the owners/management have.

That's too bad, I bought a lot from them in years past. But in the last few times I stopped in over the last few years, their shelves just seemed very bare and sad. With the two Liberty stores opening up and having a better inventory, the writing was on the wall for a while.

It's hard to be happy for any failure in this industry you want to be successful. Especially since I know a few of their employees who are good people and will now be w/o a job.

It was mismanaged from the moment it was bought out and unfortunately the writing was on the wall since then IMO. I wish they would have valued their customers more and maybe I'd still have a LGS I could spend lots of time and money in and maybe they'd still be in business. They thought they were too big to take care of the customers that took care of them and it came back to bite them. Can't say I'm surprised in this age when everything can be had online cheaper. If you don't offer exemplary customer service to those who are willing to pay a premium for it, what do you really offer? I know once I started making all of my purchases online to the lowest bidder I saved a boat load of money. Makes me wish I had done so sooner since I thought I was investing in a local relationship that would value my loyalty which wasn't the case. The Liberty stores opening up & a Republican in office were just the nail in the coffin but that hole was being dug years ago through continued efforts in the wrong direction.

I know not everyone shares my view though. I wish nothing but the best for the employees.
