It is being sold due to the dissolution of a partnership, despite its success as one of the best-performing dropship sites. The store maintains two suppliers, with the majority of orders (95%) sourced from the largest canopy and portable garage supplier in the US. The suppliers' product offerings are stable, minimizing site maintenance.
