Dimension One Spas sold?
« on: December 15, 2012, 11:09:08 am »
Two independent sources have now told me Dimension One Spas has been sold. To whom remains a slight mystery (there's a couple of suggestions). Anyone have more on this?
If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

While I have independent confirmation on the sale, to whom is still only speculation....Guesses are it was to one of the "larger" remaining manufacturers.

My sources have narrowed down the possible buyers to, one.

If its a current player its somebody who wants to get in the swim spa market would be my theory.

Watkins (which owns Hotspring) is based in San Diego.  Dimension One... also in the San Diego area.  Hmm!

Well, technically they are north of SD - in Vista, CA to be exact. And they are neighbors - D1 is right next to (and about the same size as) the Employee parking lot for Watkins MFG.

I have heard the same from a couple of sources. Have to wait and see if the rumors are true

Correct!  Google Maps shows D1 and Watkins to be 0.4 miles apart.
