Sandy's is gone?

I mean sure, I don't live in Reno anymore, but that place was awesome. It was fantastic having a local place to get parts from on short notice. But yeah, feels like the internet has killed another B&M store.

Sandy's is not gone!!
They've MOVED

They're now located in the strip mall facing 580, just south of Sport Haus, before Winco.
Same unfriendly folk working there too, if you are missing that as well.
I found more help for myself on the net than I did going into their store...

Sandy's did go under after the move (not surprised). But I think these guys bought their inventory: http://proavelectronics.com/

Shoot, sorry.
Not surprised either...last time I went in there they told me I'd have better luck looking it up myself on the internet.
