B.Mac’s return

A correspondent identifying himself as a former B.Mac employee writes, “Have a look at this. After the company goes belly up and hundreds of people including employees and clients are hurt in its closing, they have reopened.” It looks like B.Mac, after closing all four stores and declaring bankruptcy last fall, will be opening a store on the Plateau in Montreal. Down, but not out.

Their closure did little to endear themselves to the local Mac cognoscenti, some of whom were, if I remember correctly, quite pissed, especially those who didn’t know where else to go for servicing (or those who had gear in for repair when the doors were shuttered). And with Apple opening retail stores in Canada this year (though no stores confirmed for Montreal yet), this can’t be the best climate for them. Still, despite these challenges, I wish them well.
