News-Santee Lands Sportsman’s Warehouse

[NBK]

John,

Not Wal-Mart, but Fed Mart and K Mart basically put me out of business (bait & tackle store)...I have no animosity towards them or any other store...Capitalism

I can't argue your logic Steve. I am a fan of capitalism. The problem is that Walmart and Amazon become your only option. They are also brutal on their suppliers. Specifically Walmart.

I choose not to support a company that operates with ruthless principles and practices. The beauty of being an American. Shop on brother!

John,

Totally agree...That's why I was disappointed when BPS bought out Cabela's...And glad that Sportsman's pulled out of the deal with them.

I remember the days when Cabelas sent you multiple catalogs every season and I would book mark and order everthing I needed for the coming year. You got to talk to a real human being when you ordered and review each selection as well as ask questions. Those days are long gone as well as my patronage and with how they have adopted their new business profile. Was in a Cabelas in Denver a couple weeks ago. It sucked. They used to display everything you could think of. I am used to be being a fly fisherman and there I could find it all, not so anymore just basic stuff and a very poor fly selection. The world of sportsman and what we need has gone backwards..

Capitalism ! All the small businesses need to do is price match the major items.

There’s no Kmart to hold a grudge against anyway. Victims of the same trend they started.

Problem with Walmart is they put little gun stores out of business then decided to drop guns then ammo when that got too troublesome.

Good opportunity for new stores since they won’t have to compete with Walmart directly now.

Evan,

That's the whole idea of having multiple stores...The state of Commiefornia is hell bent on putting them ALL out of business...Hence, with more stores, it is less likely to ever happen.

Hopefully it will cause Turners to start carrying more hunting gear.

Don't get you'er hope's up.

I won’t. I’ll just continue to shop with their competitors like I do now.

Does anyone know when they are planning on opening?

Good to hear. When are we getting the SCH discount code?

Things are coming along. This was posted on their fb page.

Store opens tomorrow and grand opening next Thursday.

Haven’t heard about any killer door busters.

They are probably already sold out of H-4350

Looks like the soft opening has moved to TBD as of this morning.

Not an auspicious start.

I swung by during lunch to check things out. No firearms in the racks and ammo cabinets were papered up to block the view. FFL still in progress I imagine. No powders either (unsurprising). Not as much selection as the Murrieta store, but I'm happy it's here regardless for another local option.

 

[InDeepShip]

Anyone know when they get their FFL

They have guns and ammo now. I would assume they have it at this point.
