Sorry folks... It was a badly worded email - the update has now been updated!!! [My bold]

Updated news said:
We regret to inform you that EVANS CYCLES (1302) will close with Awin on 30/07/2020. The new provider will be in contact following this to detail next steps.
'Awin' are the company currently handling online marketing for Evans.

It looks like they will just be transferring to another marketing company.

Apologies for the 'fake news'... :blush::whistle:


******************

THIS HASN'T BEEN CONFIRMED IN THE MEDIA YET - IT IS BASED ON AN EMAIL I RECEIVED TODAY.

I just got an email suggesting that Evans Cycles will close on the 30th of July. (I used to host ads for Evans on my blog and was still getting details of promotions for them.)

I didn't actually shop with them very often but it is sad to see another cycling business fail.

Sad for the employees more than anything.

Whilst the likes of Halfords get some stick, I got some mechanical stuff done from my local Evans in Nottingham and Wimbledon. I also used it to buy parts/accessories. It was a decent cycle shop.

Sad to hear, especially for the staff - that's three chains gone from the high street in a few months.

I can't say I'm surprised given who now owns them - I wonder if the more premium brands they stock were happy to deal with the new management?

Well he got a good deal of stock on the cheep when he bought it.
Maybe he only wanted the stock and assets and anything else was a bonus one thing is he won't be out of pocket.

Evans in Aberdeen closed a while back.
Mostly used them to order and collect.
One day I called in on the off chance they’d look at the Pashley as the back wheel wasn’t right.
Looked at it and sorted straight away, also sorted the back light, all at no charge.
Found the lads up here provided excellent service and very sorry when they shut up shop.

Sad if true.

@ColinJ I cant see this news reported elsewhere, do you have a link?
It was in an email to affiliate marketers. I have just reread it and it still sounds to me like a closure of the business, but it could be a badly worded announcement of the closure of the affiliate marketing campaign?

That does read an awful lot like game over.

ETA (just a thought): If this isn't common knowledge/hasn't been announced it may not be a great idea posting about it on a public forum?
