Every journey has its path, and for us at Engage Virtual Range (EVR), Avon Lake, that path is shifting in directions. So as we prepare to close this chapter, we're filled with gratitude, nostalgia, and valuable lessons learned.
Throughout the past few years, we've had the privilege of being part of the Avon Lake community. It's been an incredible journey, one where we've served countless customers, worked alongside talented instructors, and interacted with a supportive local community. And for that, we are deeply grateful.
Despite our best efforts, our Avon Lake location faced many challenges. Issues with marketing awareness, physical location, and market conditions have meant we've struggled to establish the strong foothold we envisioned. Additionally, the capital required for swift expansion has proven to be a hurdle too high to clear at this stage.
But remember: each ending marks a new beginning. Our mission at EVR has always been to provide a state-of-the-art, safe, and fun environment for firearms training and education. This vision remains our guiding star, directing us as we adapt, learn, and grow.
While we prepare to bid farewell to our Avon Lake location, we invite you to join us until our final day on Saturday, June 10th. It's the perfect time to utilize those gift cards, credits, loyalty points, and memberships before we close our doors here.
The good news? Our Medina location remains open and eager to serve you. All your gift cards, credits, loyalty points, and memberships will be honored there, ensuring your EVR experience continues seamlessly.
As we navigate this transition, we remain optimistic about EVR's future. Our plans for national expansion are still in motion, now refocused on our strategy and capital requirements. We see this not as an end but as the dawn of a new chapter in the EVR story, and we're excited to embark on this next phase with you.
Our heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who has been part of our Avon Lake journey. The memories we've made, the lessons we've learned, and the community we've built have been nothing short of extraordinary. So, until we meet again in Medina or another of our future locations, keep your aim accurate and your spirits high.
Onward and upward, friends!
