[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 269631, member: 2852"] I wish that was the case Bill but it's not. I also visited two other sporting good stores yesterday besides SW and they had things in stock that SW hasn't seen in years. And they are just little mom and pop stores. The fact is that SW was leveraging new stores with old ones and manufacturers simply stopped extending lines of credit on orders to them. That is why their shelves have been empty for two years. Expansion is key but only if paced so that debt can be limited. Cabelas may have expanded slowly, but they are still around and doing fine. Anyhow, it's so sad to see because it really had the potential to continue being a great place to shop. I just feel bad for the good guys who still work there (and some have been there since day 1) who are suffering now. [/QUOTE]
