anyone here know what happened to 'The Performance Shoppe' in WA Wangara?
I drive by and the place is suddenly empty, with a for sale sign for the property. No sign about moving and the phone is disconnected...

Most likely closed down. Must be hard to make money from performance mods these days especially when there are bigger names around.

Email them? Are they on Facebook, or any other web site? You can also find the owner's name and another email address on the domain name registration details - http://www.ausregistry.com.au

The mining boom is well and truly over. Iron ore at $47/ton is causing hell.

Gees this downturn in the price of iron ore is a BIG problem.
Why ar'nt the media talking about.....I mean they do mention it but it does'nt seem to be making front page news like it should be. The country is nearly in recession or at least W.A is. |

That place has been closed for several months. I put it down to a slowing economy and many other reputable choices in Perth.

far out... only months ago I was envious of having such a business...
And re the Iron Ore price/mining boom... don't seemed to have helped us much.. We'll be paying 5 bucks for a meat pie for lunch soon enough |

performance shops are not a great business model
Performance orientated businesses suffer first in slowing economies. Less money in the household till means spending to non-essentials stops.. |
