The ones that have stayed around had to get much more competitive on pricing than in the past.
The ones that refused to change from a high margin (100%+) business model simply died.

Do you know if the Prop Shop in Centerline/Warren is still open? That was a required stop for me whenever I did a job in the Detroit area.

A lot of great stuff on their shelves!
