This is super sad. Hopefully the pieces of this are picked up and something else great comes from it. Techshop was an amazing place to learn, create and share.
I went by this morning to make something before work at the SF location and was told they closed down when I got to the gate. Employees (at least some) were notified last night at 7:00 p.m. Members were given zero notice.
Seems like poor management. It is crazy to me that a membership based place like this could shutdown at such short notice. Expansion should have waited to see profitability. If the model didn't work in new locations, shut those down.

Absolutely a case of mis-vision and and mis-strategy
