GCO,
I had heard that the Farrow site could move completely to a larger retail store. By the tax comment, I really hope that doesn't mean completely moving away from an area that is convenient to me getting to. I figured Sandhills area off Clemson Rd. It would be awesome if they moved a little further east(even to Florence to get into the out of state summer traffic area). Two Cola stores seems a little close for optimal profit in retail. |

Taxes, are of course a large part of any business decision, especially when one considers relocation. I dont think that its too much for columbia to have two psa's operational. I do think that perhaps because of Farrows current location and size, they are naturally hampered and cannot produce the volume that is being produced at Fernandina. That beign said, ive long stated that a store off of the clemson road area, two notch area, or even up 77 towards Rock hill some (think of the LEXUS dealer area off of 77 & what is that killian Road? But thats just some of my own thoughts regarding the matter, and if im not mistaken, those are all in richland county. |

If they move it, they need to start allowing pickup at Fernandina.

For my own personal benefit, I hope they stay on this side of Columbia.

Since I'm moving to Lexington from basically the Farrow road location....I hope they move the store to the WCola warehouse. I'd be back in business passing it on my way home, and paying less in taxes!

They could allow warehouse pickup in West Cola...that would be even better.

One, there's never been a warehouse at the Fernandina location. Before the new one in West Columbia, you only had the original one at Farrow. If you're referring to the white building behind the Fernandina store, that is where manufacturing used to be, not a warehouse. That said, the Fernandina store is already using that area for non-serialized back stock. I've stood around in the store while an associate from the store would go back there to check on an item for me. Not a very efficient system but given the fact that store is over 13000sq ft and they only have 1000sq ft of back stock attached to the store, it's better than nothing. Again, since firearms would be the only items available for in store pick ups, you can't just put them any old place you have space. Then, along with having to hear the bellyaching, pissing and moaning on here about "where's my order" or "why isn't my in store pick up ready when I want it to be ready," they would have to deal with an ATF invesitgation. I'd much rather deal the with lot of mouth breathers on here than deal with the ATF. Yet again, if it were as easy as you think it should be, PSA would've already done something about it. |

An option for expansion would be to build upward instead of outward. Adding a second floor could serve to provide additional storage space and more office space; maybe a customer service team that answers the phones/email/social media full time. |

Since none of those things are handled at any of the stores, I don't see how that's much of an option at all, let alone a cost effective one. Would you be willing to pay higher prices to account for the lost revenues during the time period the store and range would have to be closed to fasciliate such a reconstruction venture? I doubt it. Besides, the area set aside for the division of the company that is designated for the Customer Service team is nearly as large as the entire Fernandina store itself. |

View Quote yes, that is the building i am refering to. Manufacturing / warehouse space, whichever. if theyre already using it for backstock now, then it is in fact a warehouse now. but thats is splitting hairs / names. which supports my initial argument, of converting the attached 1000 feet storage to in store pickup, and using the "warehouse" for back stock. I have to disagree that if it was easy to do PSA would already do it. As much as I love PSA that statement historically does not hold water. Sounds to me that they need to build a larger facility already. Funny to think it was such a short while that the "BIG, HUGE" fernandina opened and now its way too small, even with the addition of the hunting section. Talk about success! |

You pay higher prices for bread now than you did 60 years ago but that's not because of an expansion on the bakery. Maybe you should stick to PSA fanboying and let PSA handles how it structures its stores. Besides, you always shop at the Farrow store anyway, to avoid all of the "Fudds" that shop at the Fernandina store. So what's it to you? |

That white building is as much of a warehouse as your car, that I am sure you store stuff in, is a warehouse. I'm sure building larger facilities is always an option. Just remember you said that when you are one of the first Internet commandos to start bitching because prices have gone up. Bigger facilities means bigger staffs, higher payrolls, more product, larger IT infrastructures, higher operating costs in general...Who do you think is going to pay for that? the white building is much more than 1000 sq feet. How is it not able to be converted to use as a warehouse? we're already paying higher prices, look at classic lpks now versus 3 years ago. Perhaps the Greenville store, Mount Pleasant store, and Fernandina were bad ideas, and we should just go back to one storefront here and one in beaufort. then the web presence. come on man, you know im as rational as anyone else, but you gotta admit that its rediculous that they do in store pickup at farrow, and greenville, and i believe beaufort and Mt. Pleasant, but wont at their "flagship" corporate headquarters store?!? Plus what happens when and if they move farrow? Hell Fernandina would be able to count the sales of instore pickups in their income then too, not that they need it with the volume they do, but sheesh.

So what's it to you? lol. no, i dont always shop just farrow road... i make weekly trips to fernandina usually. I also shop greenville when im up there. 60 years ago we didnt have ar's to buy much less gun stores of psa's size and magnatude. and one could get a m1 garand for about 4.50. so things are a good bit differnet now. I guess throughout all of this, perhaps we've learned simply that PSA needs to plan on building a facility, and when they think they have it big enough, Triple it. and then add a quarter more, and it might be big enough for about 6 months. |

They could allow warehouse pickup in West Cola...that would be even better. View Quote THIS! Plus 100. Case in point. I live within about 7 miles or so from their new warehouse in Cayce. They had some .308 M14 type mags on sale while back and I wanted some extras. But my options were to pay the sales tax and shipping for about 10 miles distance via UPS*. Or, have the order shipped to Fernandina; drive about 20 plus miles each way to go over there and retrieve it, wait on somebody to come free there to attend to my order pick and process the shipping refund, and drive back across town. Fernandina pickup was not an option; I verified that. I gave up and did not order any. *The UPS terminal is between me and the Cayce warehouse. They need warehouse pickup at Cayce. All they need to do is add a side door with a sign that says ORDER PICKUP, and a small room inside with a counter and buzzer, that is secured from the rest of the facility. A lot of construction supply distributors in various trades are set up like that. They could maybe keep some items in a display case or on the wall behind the counter for popular add on sales items, but basically, it would just be primarily a local order pickup point, manned when the buzzer rings. As for earlier comments about adding a second story to the Fernandina bldg, that's usually very costly and impractical. I have managed commercial construction for most of my adult life. One story concrete and steel bldgs are usually only engineered to hold up: themselves, the mechanical/electrical and ceiling loads slung underneath, the required wind/rain/snow load ratings for the location, plus a safety factor. This is especially true with most "Pre-engineered" type metal bldgs. Adding another story requires replacing and/or reinforcing a lot of existing steel; making lots of holes in the existing roof that puts what's below at risk, and taking measures to convert a sloped roof into a flat concrete 2nd floor, plus mechanical, electrical and code issues to resolve, IE: "Means of Egress". Thus this is a risky and expensive proposition. NOW, if there is enough clear height inside the bldg, they should be able to add a floor supported mezzanine for office and limited weight storage space. A certain retail chain that I have built for does this in their back stock areas to gain more space without increasing the bldg foot print on expensive real estate. |
