Close out gun sales could be awesome. |

Cabelas' stock price is down 37% since 1/1/15, so it's safe to assume that they've got a lot of underperforming stores and since they more or less share the same business model as BPS, they're probably not going to be able to do a lot to turn them around, hence we'll see store closings. It's a secret, since we still have the holiday season before they're set to close and they don't want to cause the employees to bolt. I kept my theatre closing date from my staff until the last week and I was told by corporate only 3 weeks before the doors were shut. Chris |

And I just got to Black status on my Cabelas card.
Local Cabelas is way better than Bass Pro. The Bass Pro in Springfield was ok, but not great for shooting or hunting stuff. |

(to be followed by jumping to that other retailer on Dec 26th) Once the cat's out of the bag, some leverage is lost...on both sides. Employees have bills, employees need to buy presents, employees are probably more easily replaced, should they revolt and demand a pot of gold. Not saying I know one way, or the other, but TG is coming, Black Friday is coming, Cyber Monday and all of that other spendy shit, so let the game of chicken begin. Chris |
