Receiving less than pleasant reports about Whittakers. Anyone been there in the past week?

Just saw that, confirms what I've been hearing (and not unexpected based on recent intel)

It is, liked the original store better but liked the "new" store too.  Shame.

Actually.  Management, Management, Management

The owners after the old man died ran it into the ground eventually

If the old man was still alive I bet it would still be doing fine.

Back in the day they had a crude website, but is did a pretty good job of listing inventory.  Trying to buy from them online over the last few years was tough.  They use to have a ton of preowned guns and they would buy closeouts like when Gander went under.   Kygunco and Bud's gunshop are much easier to buy from.

Both.

Their location sucked ass, but their selection and management made it worth the trip.  That, plus a stop for BBQ on the way.

The pub next door is going to feel the effects. Gun shoppers kept it going during planting and harvest when the farmers were in the field.
