Looks to me like the market for big-box outdoor destination stores is saturated now. There are at least 4 Cabela's, 2 BPs with a new one planned, at least 3 Gander Mountains, beaucoup Dicks/Field And Stream - all within a 2-hr. drive max. of me. And not a dime's worth of difference between them. I'll stop at one if already in the area, but my shooting tastes have generally gone in a different direction; I do like to check out the Cabela'gun rooms, and sometimes they'll get reloading components first, maybe because of their size.
I look for some of these mega-stores to close and combine eventually. Stockholders just got a $16/share bonus, and the CEOs probably a few million more a year, so the "important" people have been served; the rest will just pay higher prices and suffer poorer service.
