I went by there earlier today and the one guy working in the fishing department was busy talking football with some guy while I was struggling to find something. I left and ordered from tackle warehouse.

I went in there about a month ago because I needed some big hooks and jigheads that Academy didn't have and didn't have time to order them or else I would have. There was probably 3 other customers in the place, the girl at the checkout counter looked bored as hell. I wonder what they'll put in there once they close down.

I was at bass pro during lunch and they don't seem to be doing much better. Several employees asked me if I needed anything but it was just me and an old guy in fishing. Specialty retail stores like that are getting crushed by online retailers. The only reason I was there was to get something I wanted to have to fish this weekend and having it shipped would have been borderline. I still was disappointed in what they had and barely spent anything compared to what I probably will eventually at TW when I can pick out exactly what I want.

Not if you need a new Field Hockey outfit or Lacrosse helmet.

I hope you know where they are, because you aren't going to get any help.

I always found the Gander here in Palm Beach Gardens to be cheaper than the BPS in Davie. Was sad to see it close.

I've found some thing on clearance at F&S, but the rest of that store is s.o.l.

I can honestly say I haven't shopped there since they decided to hire gun control advocates and I use to buy a good bit of ammo there on the cheap.

A few years back, I could buy the brands of 9mm, and 22LR I wanted there for less than anywhere in North Louisiana. Over the last year, it didn't seem like they had the good deals. Just been buying online, usually from Cabells's when they offer free shipping. Getting better prices, so I've gotten pretty stocked up!

What did those idiots expect? Throw a drink in your date's face and she is probably going to go dance with somebody else!

I haven’t stepped foot in there since their press release awhile back. Not a big exaggeration on their parking lot compared to Academy. No idea how they’re making it here.

eta: It’s going to suck for that shopping center. No idea what would fill that much space.

4-5 Years ago when you couldn't find 22lr and 22mag, they were the only place in town that had it on the regular. It was my go-to and I didn't tell a soul.
