Sportsman's Warehouse

[Desert Jewel]

Just heard Sportsman's Warehouse just went out of business and is gone!! If you won anything from them at Fun In the Desert, I hope you cashed it in before they closed their doors!! We were just there promoting the store Sept 20th. Wow!!

[dr.dirty]

yup it was an overnight thing they just locked the doors and cleared the store than night the day they closed it was in the paper

Look around the high desert, 18 months ago you couldn't find any retail space to rent, now they're everywhere. It's just the start, hold on for a rough ride, i'm afaid.

Think about what retailers you want to stick around, and spend your money carefully because if we don't support those retailers, they will go outta buisness to! Don't get me wrong, I am not in any position to drop a bunch of cash... but the little money I am going to spend- it's not going to be at Walmart or any other craptastic chain store...

Article in the Daily Press (Victorville) today 10-28-08. Sounds like a national chain with lots of stores and this one did not produce the sales so poof and it's gone. Then more open up in other market areas. Too many people still went to Bass Pro Shop down the hill instead of buying local.

Do you blame them. i'd go to bass pro any day over sportsman's warehouse.

I am borderline depressed that this store is closed... we got alot of gear there.

[TJ Clay]

I would have thought they would have given it more than 4 months to try and succeed.

[Desert Jewel]

Ya, when we (VV4W's) were there with our Jeeps on display and showing off on the articulation ramp, I found a lot of stuff I wanted to get as Christmas presents. Kinda bummed! You think they would have at least stuck it out thru the holidays.
It was nice to have them in town, I could spend more there instead of putting it in my gas tank to go down the hill to Bass Pro.

Not me, Bass pro is ok if you want to see the sights, their prices are WAY higher than SW, I just bought a rifle from them, sorry to see them move out of Victorville.

I thought you couldn't own guns in Canada. What's the deal?

[The-Hurricane]

you just have to have the proper licenses and permits. the only guns that are hard to get are handguns. once you have proper certificates, a guy comes to your house and maps out the exact shortest route to the nearest gun range. you are only allowed to have your pistol with a trigger lock and in a locked gun case in your vehicle from your house, on the exact ,streets on your map, there and back, no detours no stops for gas or food. there and back thats it.
