The shop’s supplier is also likely Pelican’s too. Pelican isn’t Wayne’s anymore. It’s gone corporate. Their sales staff answer phones in their homes. And much of the inventory that was once in the shelf in SoCal is now drop shipped from vendor. Even back in the Wayne days a bunch of it came from SSF. It’s not what it once was.
