How does it compaire to Sportco, now that Sportco has been remodeled recent'y?

I personnally preferre Sportmans over sportco. It is alot more organized. Like everywere else you are going to find stuff that is more expensive than other places if you look hard enough, but from what I have seen and heard from friends of mine they are about the same or cheaper than sportco. If you haven't been to one you have to at least make the 45 minute drive up and check it out for yourself. Their are a few guys that I work with that aren't sportsmans and they were disappointed because they though it was going to be a sporting good store. I asked them what part of sportsmans wearhouse don't you understand.

I got a coupon for $10.00 off on a sale over 50 bucks in the mail the other day from Sportsmans Warehouse.

If someone could use it I would gladly mail it to you.

PM me your address and its yours.

No charge of course.

now we just need one down in olympia! there's absolutely nothing here, unless you like paying 2-3 times as much at tumwater sports as you would at sportco...

Chum,

We (I'm in Aberdeen) need to hold out hope that Cabelas is still considering locating south of Chehalis off I-5........at least that was the hot rumor a year ago.

I would disagree and say that Sportco will definitely lose some business as a result of the new store. I live in Belfair, and would rather drive to Silverdale than Fife. I will still go to Sportco, but not as much. There are a lot of people in the surrounding area who will do the same. It may not break the bank at Sportco, but it will have an impact.

I really enjoyed the new store. I took me an hour just to get half way through and I dropped a couple hundred dollars. Got a Beckman Salmon net that I was going to buy at Auburn Sports, but they were all out.

Didn't spend too much time in the fishing section, but I will be back very soon.

While I did the grand opening at Sportsmans Warehouse today I felt that the store is a plus to the area but being that I live almost equal distances between Sportco and Sportsmans Warehouse I for the time being will continue to shop Sportco for most of my supplies even with the B.S bridge traffic.I found prices which were quite a bit higher in some cases which I don't quite understand the average income in Kitsap County is less than King/Pierce County,gas is even less in Silverdale than what Ive seen in King/Pierce County.I was impressed with the firearms section though I did not price anything it was about the busiest section in the place. What I noticed most in the fishing section was that a lot of the gear was lower quality kind of along the same line you would find at a Walmart or Fred Meyer also one salesmen I talked to in the fishing section didn't have a clue and the one that supposedly knew (according to clueless one)let me get one sentence out of my mouth and was gone before I could start to say what else I was looking for. I had hoped that they would have a quality fly tying section so I could get some materials to tye jigs with but I couldn't find anything there that was on my list cant make any comparison there to Sportco though the feather department at Sportco isn't any better in fact both stores could do much better in this area.I will stop in again though gives me something to do if the wife wants to go to Costco since it's right there. Maybe my expectations were to high also who knows Where in the H#ll is Cabelas I wish they would put a store in somewhere in this state maybe we should all flood them with continuous mail and phone calls till they do

To those of you holding your breath about Cabela's planning a store in the Northwest, don't hold your breath. My cousin is very high up in the management of Cabela's in Sidney, NE and I pinned him down recently at the funeral of his mother about expansion plans they have. He stated that while they will eventually look westward, all current plans are for continuing expansion eastward in the United States. Sorry to burst a few bubbles guys (and girls), but I think we are in for a long wait. In the meantime, Sportsman's Warehouse will do. They have other stores in Spokane and Kennewick and I have shopped at, and dropped, quite a bit of money at their stores in Utah.

finally a place with killer bass gear, the store is cool. and carhart and rain gear galore if you work for a livin. A++++++

and all flies are 99 cents
