Has any one been in the new one yet? Buddy of mine said its open now
|
| The store had its "soft opening" today. The place was packed all day. The "grand opening" sale is going on next week (18-22). Each day of the sale they will be giving away a different firearm, fishing and hunting related items (guns/rods/etc). They are also giving away an ATV of some sort. I was in the new store today and it is very nice. No more rubbing shoulders with everyone else trying to walk through the aisles. They finally have enough space to put out all their used guns and have lots of new ones out also. They have over 1200 guns on the floor right now. |

I went by there today around 11am and there was around 50-100 people in the store. It was very easy to find a parking place and the store did not seem crowded at all, even with that many people around. At the old store you would not be able to move around without bumping into someone, much less find a parking place. This will be a much better location for them, especially around holidays. I just hope that they can make a go of it there, the lease on that location has got to be tremendous compared to the old location. They can't afford to raise their prices since they are already higher than CSA on firearms and almost anything in the store can be purchased cheaper on-line.
When I first walked into the store I was surprised how much the inside reminded me of the old Gander Mt. store. It looks like that used all of the old display counters, clothing racks, etc. in setting up the store. It has a similar layout as well. At least you can see the used pistols now without having to ask. I wish them well. |
