Yes thy're all closed

But the good news from the rumor mill is another local performance shop is supposed to be buying a few stores soon.

Rumor I heard was that the other company bought them, and then shut them down.

Re: Is Ramchargers closing their stores?

yup, they are gone, but there will be a new place locally that will try to fill the void, i can't really say yet, because plans are still in the works, but we will have someplace to order parts from hopefully, with a decent in store stockpile.

Re: Is Ramchargers closing their stores?

Lukovich has been around for a little while, yeah they will probably stick around. I feel for the guys who lost out on their jobs. I wouldn't want to be in that business right now, to many people opening up shops, and are able to just order direct from vendors.

Re: Is Ramchargers closing their stores?

Ramchargers has been a part of the local racing community for over 30 years. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has spent many hard earned dollars with them, and their closure marks the end of the last "chain" performance stores. I'm sure we all remember Super Shops. A wish of good luck especially to all of the employees of Ramchargers, hopefully you all settle into new homes in the performance indsutry. Good Luck!!

Also guys don't forget Victory Racing Engines , as well as quality engine builds and engine related parts, we also carry a full line of performance parts.

Be sure to check our website for all your performance needs. If there is something you don't see on the site, please give us a call, as the site is growing daily.

Re: Is Ramchargers closing their stores?

Thanks for the kind thought's Nick!.
It really sucks to read all the bashing on the boards around the net we're getting .
I feel so bad for Dick, Leroy, and Sam as they have so much of there blood, sweat, and tears into Rams...
...All way's support your local merchants guys or one day they might be gone .

Re: Is Ramchargers closing their stores?

some of the bashing is well founded though. when you don't take care of your customers they go elsewhere
