ZCZ:
News to me too.

ZCZ:
I worked on the engineering side of the grills for several years (2010 - 2012). Thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m sure the new owners have an excellent customer support department.
ZCZ:
I saw they were bringing production back to the US. That’s good.
Canadian John:
The downward slide around the time China became involved in manufacturing was evident to me that the company lost interest & went into a, just keep it alive mode.
The sell off makes sense now.
We'll have to wait with fingers crossed to see what happens. There is a lot of work to do in reviving the dealer network and customer acceptance.

They may not plan to use the old/existing Memphis dealer network. From the press release ZCZ posted, "They also are going to transition distribution to their current Alfresco / Artisan distributor network."
Using their Alfresco distributor network doesn't necessarily mean that they'll use their sales network. The distributors could revive the old Memphis retail outlets, but I suspect that they won't.
