I guess they'll have to poke a hole in the old JC Pennys store roof to fit one in.
Winco is coming to town this year, going into the old Shopko building. |

Winco is coming to town this year, going into the old Shopko building. I shopped at the WinCo a few months back. Cool store. I like how they post the competitors prices on certain items when you walk in the door. They also had a great selection of bulk items. The only problem for me is it's on the other side of town.

I am glad we have a couple of local sporting good stores, Snappys and Sportsman regularly beat the national chain stores.

Compared to Cabela's which is our other big sporting goods store , Scheels usually has better prices. Plus they price match anything. Even internet sales. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I've never been in a Scheels store. How is it compared to Cabela's, in just the overall look and feel of the place? I ask, having been to the Missoula Cabela's exactly once, for probably 20 minutes. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Hopefully Scheels have a decent reloading section. Ass Pro(old name they were given in Alabama years ago) really cut the one at Cabelas, and went ridiculous on the pricing. MSRP on guns.....really?!?! Even their used guns are ridiculously priced in most cases. About the only thing I can get cheaper there than online is my Extreme 9mm/.380/.45ACP projectiles that no one else here carries......and that's when they get them in stock. I was getting Hornady 55gr FMJBT for $6.99/100, now they are almost as expensive as A-Max. As soon as my card is paid off, it goes through the shredder.
Bob Wards has some decent pricing on some things, but rape you on others(like ammo pricing from 2013). We figured Cabelas would have made them(and Axmen) wake up and smell the coffee. Nope. Once Sheels opens, that will be 3 big box SG stores here. |

I have known a couple of good people in the Missoula Cabelas. One has left already. My advise to the other was to leave because that store will be history. Before the BP takeover, I was a frequent flyer in the store. The coupons came in the mail, the military discount was good but that faded. My Cabelas CC being the primary CC was changed. I saw the writing on the wall with the BP take over and shopped elsewhere and did not use the new CC. Sad to say but within 5 years, I can see Cabelas being history.
I have been in one Sheels. The one in Great Falls put the new Cabelas to shame. Looking forward to the new store! |

We also hit up the local shops. |

When the recession hit hard in 2008/09 the Sportsman's Warehouse org found out they had over expanded. They sold/closed a sizeable number of their stores including the Missoula one. The Missoula spot was opened up under a new name/owner.
When things started bouncing back a few years later Sportsman's Warehouse did also, and re-occupied the Missoula store. Since they've expanded. I know a few folks in the Missoula Cabelas since the first opening. Two summers ago Bass Pro pushed a major reorg there (after the buy) and a knew the writing was on the wall. I have heard a lot of horror stories about the new Bass Pro business model from there. I was by the South gate mall yesterday and there's a large box second story right on top of the soon-to-be former Pennys. I don't know if thats the HVAC for the whole mall but its big so wishful thinking on if they can squeeze the ferris wheel in there. IMO Scheels has a much more family/interactive approach to things than the Bass Pro/Cabelas store has. |

I wish I could remember what it was called. My Ex worked at the one in Helena during that time. It was a Canadian company that Sportsman's evidently owed money to, so they sold a lot of the western stores to them. Then when Sportsman's got back on their feet they purchased them back. It was a mess, and I never did really like that store or the prices. Overall the people stayed the same though. While the one in Helena is good, I am not sure it is at the same level as it was before. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I hope Scheels keeps expanding.
I went in to the Kalispell Cabelas the other day killing time during a tire rotate...obscene pricing on guns. The gem of the used handguns was a well used S&W 5906 for $699. LOL!!! Every time I go in there, it's just more clothing.... I actually went in there with the intent of spending some money, and I was hard pressed to find SOMETHING decently priced...ended up with a couple boxes of ammo... I give the Kalispell store 3 years tops. |

Once Johnny from Bass Pro gets enough $$ to pay off the loan he took out to buy Cabelas I suspect he'll sell it off, and keep the locations that are desirable and rename them.

They were out of the 1000 primer brick. I asked if they would honor the lower price (29.99) price if I bought 10x. They said no.  it's the same product! Whatever. I bought powder and left.

One of my contacts in town told me that they'll be putting a second floor on the footprint the Scheels will be taking over in the mall and adding enough room for the indoor ferris wheel.
Bob Wards is doing an upgrade of their store right across the parking lot, and will keep the Missoula store open come hell or high water since Missoula is where BW started, and might close one of the other less performing stores. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I thought it was changed to Wholesale Sports. Then, back to Sportsman’s Warehouse. I say that because I can remember walking down the ammo isle and some old guy looked at me all confused and said, “I don’t see anything wholesale in this store.” I laughed out loud. Same story today. |
