The store’s website currently only contains a message about the shop closing and instructions on how to pick up equipment.
“Dear Valued Customers, sadly, our doors are now closed to the public. We are not maintaining regular operating hours. If you still have gear at Abell for pickup, please contact us at [email protected] In your email, please leave complete contact information including phone number and the unit in question. We will contact you to arrange a time for pickup and rectify any remaining balance. Please do not leave a message on our phone line. That phone line is not being monitored. Thank you for 40 years of past patronage,” Abell’s website reads.
Dan Abell opened the store in November of 1984, according to his LinkedIn page.
