Sorry to see this happen, but a store selling all USF gear these days might as well be....

If they had done this in a quality manner to begin with things might have turned out differently.

Hopefully he got out early enough to not throw good money after bad and has the capital to re-launch when USF gets its act together. He's a businessman not just another crazy fan. I bet we'll see a

Completely agree with GaUSFBull.  A couple of months ago someone posted about supporting Bull Outfitter.  Being from out of town, I went to their website to do my part, but I couldn't navigate through

My wife just informed me that Bulls Outfitter closed permanently today. We enjoyed shopping there, and Craig is a great guy. Sadly, this is the price of having irrelevant football and men's basketball, I guess. I don't know. Just wanted to thank the folks at Bulls Outfitter for holding on as long as they did. Thanks, Craig, for taking a chance and opening the store. Best of luck to you in your next venture...whatever that may be.

****, I was going to be heading over to Tampa to pick up some stuff.

It's happening all over the country. There just isn't a strong market for off-campus outfitters with the Internet.

He's a businessman not just another crazy fan. I bet we'll see another enterprise when the time is right.

I hope so.

 

Hopefully if he does relaunch he can do so with a user-friendly website ... the importance of a merchandise-selling business having a decent Internet presence in 2014 and beyond can't be overstated.  Not with Amazon, Fanatics, etc. always offering deals. 

 

I do wish him the best and I hope he is introspective in the meantime on how he can make it better next time around.

It's not easy to compete with the better prices of Wallmart, Target, Bealls, Steinmart, etc...

Yeah, those places have carried Bulls stuff pretty much the whole time and it didn't seem to affect BO early. Most fans don't do comparison shopping in brick and mortars ... Football's downturn definitely affected things. Hopefully they can weather things out and come back when the fans do .... and definitely get the Internet thing cleaned up when the time comes.
