Morning Gang,
We are back in the store today after all the fun and games over the last few days. We are still undecided on what the future holds for Crank'n Cycles, but for the immediate future we will not be ordering anything in that we do not have on the floor.
We want to thank the Collie community for all the messages of support via our page, the texts and calls from all over the state. The guys and girls of WA Police have been fantastic to deal with, Phoenix Glass for not 1 but 2 call outs to help secure the shop. I want to thank Chappy, Cherry and Damon for giving up their time to board up the shop windows sunday. A special thank you to a man named David, who at 430am drove down to check on how I was going, a man I had never met before that time. We can't thank all of you enough.
The suggestion of a "Go fund me" is lovely and I know and feel the sentiment behind it. This is not something I can accept or will accept. Go fund me's are for people in need, health issues and support. As much as this has hurt, I won't accept anything like this.
If you want to show your support, support all our local small businesses. Spend your money in town, that helps us little guys out the most. Keep in mind that we have to buy these goods, freight them to us, build them, keep the lights on, insurance, BAS, wages/super and all the incidentals that add up. Most of us don't have huge bank accounts, we have big bills just like you.
Watch this space in the coming days, we'll make a call on what the future holds. For the next month we will have altered hours, especially over the weekends. I will advise of any changes to operating hours as I know.
Thank you again to everyone who has reached out, i certainly feel the support of this amazing town.
Adam.
