I am really stoked. I just THOUGHT I was excited when they announced that Academy Sports was coming to our little burg (http://www.academy.com/), but now I've gotten some even better news.
In the last week or so they've broken ground on a new Gander Mountain store here (http://www.gandermountain.com). It will be SO NICE to have one of these stores here!!! When I was just a lad back in the late '60s I can remember looking through their catalogs and ordering stuff from them....they've been around for a while. They are kindof like a BassPro....without the stuffed animals, or the fish tank....LOL.
Anyways.... I can't hardly wait for them to open up. Every year for Father's Day, we usually take a trek to one of the BassPro stores in GA...either up in Duluth on the north side of A-Town, or over in Macon. Well this year I did a "store locator" search and found that GM had opened a store about an hour's ride from here in the little town of McDonough, GA. SO, I said I wanted to go there and see their store. While there I talked for a while with one of the employees at the gun counter, and he said that he'd heard that our store was supposed to be getting an indoor shooting range!!! The only other GM store that I've been in is the one in Bowling Green, KY and it is a nice store as well.
The really neat thing is that this new Gander Mountain store is being built right across the street from the Dick's store here. I reckon they can go ahead and start planning their "going out of business" sale now.
