I was thinking the same thing. "ourstuff" lolIt's the way business has been running for years now. A startup gets hot and the big boys buy them out. It's the goal of many startups to have that happen. Not saying that was was Luke's goal but this is the typical pattern. It will take a couple years to see how it will all pan out. It's an opportunity for a new tree gear startup to shake things up all over again, if anyone has the stomach for it ;-)

The most shocking and exciting thing a out this thread is that @boreality is back around. Been missing your posts man! And avatarsWho is Sherrill? Someone or something bought out Tobe, correct? Now they've bought out their competition. Is this a symptom of what capitalism has become with shareholders and numbers running the show?
Maybe TreeStuff wl improve Sherrill... Ever think of that!!I hope it stays the same but it is inevitable that some changes will occur. Hopefully for the better (although I don't know how to improve treestuff). As long as the customer service stays the same and innovation continues to occur they can keep raping my billfold.

Holy shit! Blast from the past. Good to see you are alive and well, or... Alive anyway.Who is Sherrill? Someone or something bought out Tobe, correct? Now they've bought out their competition. Is this a symptom of what capitalism has become with shareholders and numbers running the show?
Appreciate all the feedback guys!
Don't worry about anything, the team in Indy is still running Treestuff!
Service and prices stay the same, the "everything ships today" mentality stays, the weirdo fun and games mentality, it stays too.
One thing that will change? Product development is going to ramp up like crazy! With our combined resources we will really be able to knock down some barriers and do awesome things.
Meeting the crew down in Greensboro was a real eye opener for me, they are a great bunch of people and Tripp is a far cry from the management of past. He is an awesome dude that I already consider a friend.
I expect great things and look forward to serving you guys far into the future.
Congrats to my close friends Luke and Erin! You guys are my inspiration, my heroes and the best bosses ever. You deserve it!

I certainly hope this stays true. ..... But.....
This news..... I was pretty shocked. Have boycotted sherrill ever since I felt I was an "insignificant" with them.
I understand family Luke and co. Am happy you have your head there. I also am an entrepreneur and can't help but feel the loss of a great company leader. This planet has too many "walmarts" and too much "superstore" mentality. Can't help but feel this is where this Union of TS and ST is going. I believe the tree service industry consists of two groups.
The conglomerates. : Davey, Bartlett, Nelson, Asplundh etc.
The rest : privately owned.
I think the privately owned are much stronger and a much bigger group because of how our clients value trees. And this value is changing. Trees are more and more being recognized as the valuable asset they should be. As small privately owned entrepreneurial companies we love to see the same small entrepreneurial spirit in places we spend our hard earned money.
Luke, I am sad to see you "depart" from your company. I am curious how it will affect you and your family. I hope it leads to more quality of life for you. If you are anything like me, then I know it was no easy decision.
"TreeStuff is going to stay Treestuff." For years you've been positioning yourself as the alternative to Sherrill. To many of us that was your value proposition. We weren't paying to support the Sherrill machine. Now, that distinction has collapsed. Certainly there will be a percentage paid from every order to Sherrill. They didn't buy you guys for nothing. Our orders will end up repaying this debt. There will be a sherrill premium on every order. "Filthy lucre" Excuse me while I take a moment to barf (or cry).This afternoon Erin and I sold TreeStuff.com to SherrillTree.
We made this decision for our children, Clark, Alice and Hal.
We retain ownership in the company and will be heavily involved, just like always.
TreeStuff is going to stay TreeStuff. That will never change. Thank you for your years of amazing support. We love you all.
