Sounds like delta cam in Tacoma Wash. has decided to move operations to Arizona. Owner says crime, graffiti, and taxes are deciding factors. Good for them, I wish them well in their move. ****s for us in the local area
They have seen in Tacoma for 48 years, that must tell you something. BUSINESS ARE LEAVING STATE RIGHT AND LEFT.
Dang. I wish them luck in the move. I may be mistaken, but was the owner also putting the business up for sale a few years back?
There’s an interview with him on one of the news channels, you can probably google it. There’s some age and health issues, but mostly rising costs. It’s just a tough environment up here. I’m glad I’m retired.
Hmm... I just talked to Big John on Monday about grinding a cam, and didn't mention anything about it. Their website announced that they have plans to move, and not closing. Wonder how soon? EDIT: Called today, and the building is up for sale. If/when the building sells, they have 90 days to be out. Until then, it's business as usual. I hope the best for them.
