It is so sad to lose another retailer after 42 years of operation. It sounds like it's a drastic act iif everything has to be out of there by Saturday. Bugformance will be sorely missed.

I wonder how this affects the Bugformance here in Sacramento.

I guess they must be independently owned and operated. Although it didn't mention the closure on the Sacramento Bugformance site, it did say this on the San Jose store's homepage: Also, any former Sunnyvale Bugfomance Customers can receive a 15% discount in light of the Sunnyvale store closing until the END OF JANUARY. Our condolances to yet another fallen VW shop.
