    Default Leader closing rutland store

    Leader Evaporator will be closing the Rutland store on Sept 4. This leaves a huge hole in the maple world in southern Vermont. Tom, the manager has 35 years experience in designing and manufacturing maple equipment. I certainly hope that he will be picked up by another equipment manufacturer as he is a wealth of knowledge. If you are in the Rutland area before Sept. 4th, please stop and wish these folks well. they will all be sorely missed.

    Tom and Bruce (when he was with the company) helped us out more than once. They always bent over backwards for us. Hopefully, Leader can get it turned around. Would much rather buy American than anything else.
