Boaters World closing includes Atlantic Beach location

Gene Helmlinger of Newport is training to work as a marine mechanic or electrician, but as he shopped this week at a Carteret County business preparing to close its doors he found the boating industry is one that has been hit by economic hard times.

i think its bullshit that Ritz Camera just decides to sell Boaters World off like its nothing. so many employees have lost their jobs due to their stupid negligence and bad business skills. If they had planned properly they wouldn't have bought those stupid and ridiculous Wolfe Cameras stores and operated it in front of one another to compete. Boaters World was a great company and so many customers are dissatisfied with the way they decided to handle their business. Thanks for selling out. Thanks for letting the whole company down. Hope you all fail Ritz Camera!
