Tens of thousands of people have signed on to a petition hoping to stop the sale of Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) to a private U.S. firm. The sale was announced Monday September 14 and will see Los Angeles-based private investment firm Kingswood Capital Management acquire the business and its assets. As a result, the retailer will no longer operate as a member-owned co-operative. ()

Here is an expert from 成人VR视频 that can provide comment on this issue:

鈥�It is not surprising that it happened, since MEC was already having financial challenges before the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic. The current crisis dramatically accelerated the challenges faced by MEC as a non-essential retailer and put them in an untenable situation. We will see if and how Kingswood Capital Management LP will succeed with this acquisition, as financial firms have been relatively unsuccessful in taking over strongly branded retailers with strong cultures and values like MEC. At the same time, there may be a great opportunity with the 鈥榮taycation鈥� trend and more focus on outdoor activities not too far from home.鈥�
