Update on Sportsmans Warehouse
A buddy posted this on another website this morning:
Sounds like the deal to sell all of Sportsman's Warehouse to the Canadian company fell through. They plan to close 23 stores and sell 15 stores to the Canadian company. Looks like the Ankeny store will remain open and remain as part of Sportsman's Warehouse.

Yep heard that as well. I am told the store here in Nampa is one that is closing. To bad good folks there and just a couple of miles from my house. they have not been open for a year yet. I imagine there will be some good sales going on inthe next 30 days or so. I am going to miss it cause their prices were cheaper then the store in Boise.
That stinks! SW has become my favorite store, and they are liquidating ours according to the link you posted. BUMMER!

Our local store is going to the Canadian Company, now its all going to be aboot and ay etc. I wont be able to understand the clerks at all
Actually I don't know what to expect, new store new management, don't know what brands they will be selling or if they will keep the same format.
But I have seen this with other companies who try to grow big too fast, at least all of them aren't going under.

Looks like the Pacific Northwest is doing OK.
Glad to see our Medford store ain't on either list...........They ain't been here long, and we kinda like 'em.........................ModocDan
that really does stink Ol' Blue. When ever I have someone in the hospital down in Wichita, which is at least a couple times a year, they get special visits from the pastor, just so I can go to Sportsmans warehouse. This may not cause me to do fewer visits, but I won't be nearly so excited about going.

The paper today had a short story on it, and they did say that our store is on the short list of locations that could be reopened in the future. I guess that is better than nothing.

Looks like the Idaho Falls store is going to be gone Johnson. Bummer!
They're just fish, right? Right?
I understand that the Nampa and Pocatello stores are closing. The remaining Idaho stores will be Boise, Twin Falls and Idaho Falls.Originally Posted by Lew
