Bad news
I hope they don't get it.

this last line pretty much sums it up

"The point is to get the most bang for your buck. If backing up the truck for a retailer that will pay $10 an hour is the best we can do, then we are in more trouble than we know."

25 million

let them shell out their own money

What I don't understand about companies like Cabelas and BassPro is that isn't it enough for them that people will mail order and buy online their products?It is what made these companies.

Do they believe that they'll change someone's mind who was indecisive about buying from them if they open a giant store within driving distance?

Do they believe that someone like me will stop going to my local shop like Pete's?

Sure I've ordered stuff from Cabelas.Big fan of their waders and shoes.

When I buy plugs,terminal tackle,line I go the local guy like Pete because he has exactly what I need.The big boys including Wallyworld or #^&#^&#^&#^&s most of the time don't.

Are these big guys gonna have that spare part for my 'ol 704 lying around or replace that broken tip on my rod?Of course not.
