Uncle Bruce's New Store
« on: March 04, 2010, 06:47:45 PM »

Bruce Rossmeyer's Southern Thunder H-D had a 'soft opening' of their new mega-store today.  Located a few miles south of their previous location at exit 287 on I-55 in DeSoto County, Mississippi.  This is one BIG AZZ store!

Service area - obviously not everything has been moved or installed yet.  Workmen all around finishing up inside and out.

Lots of bikes in stock.  And they're going to have to move a lot to pay the rent on this place!

Brucie, an MSRP dealer, oh yeah.  MSRP is just the starting point for him to add his 'profit margin' to.  ;D

Sadly, it looks a lot like any other dealership that moved or rebuilt since 04. It's like walking into a WalMart, you already know where everything is.

This store is run by Bruce's niece, Lisa Wade, a very nice friendly lady, an optometrist (and rider) who was on staff at the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis before Bruce bought this dealership several years ago.  She's done quite a respectable job of running the store and according to Bruce she is the one who planned and executed the building of the new store.  As I understand it she and Bruce are the 'owners' but now that Bruce is deceased I have no idea how that has or will impact this dealership.  I imagine it will stay in the fold of Rossmeyer dealerships.  They still answer the phone as 'Bruce Rossmeyer's Southern Thunder H-D.'
