Just in case

I worked in the Macon Mall next to Dillards. After Dillards pulled out, It was a slow death. Ive no idea why they turned it into a parking lot. The new mall sux. Frikin everything is outside. 13 below or 103 in the shade you get to enjoy it, not to mention Rain.

Gander mountain clearance: in summary #1 Mark up your prices so high so that after 20% off you still pay more than retail #2 false advertise 60% off: there's nothing 60% off #3 Do a Going out of sale every year and watch sales skyrocket! My town of Fort Wayne has had a going out of sale "sale" last year and the year before. It must be going well for them.

Gander mountain wasn't even worth the few minutes of a gander they got from me .


It's a shame too ,because competition makes capitalism mo Betta .


There is money to be made and they are closing stores down due to being greedy guts !

Hopefully other chains will take notice and change their tactics. In the information age, people are using it to save money. Rarly will I buy something without doing a quick search to see its price online. Its helped me get a good idea of new gun values. Old guns are still best left to the experts.

You're preaching to the choir here. I HATE Amazon with a passion. I dig buying local pray least in person when I can. I like seeing and touching what I'm getting before I pay for it. I'm a big fan of Academy Sports. We finally got one in Brunswick last December. It's maybe 3 red lights from an existing Dicks that sits in a Target shopping center. I really hope both of them go under soon.
I miss the mall experience and I tell my 9 year old about it all the time. I also watch the Dead Mall Series by a guy named Dan Bell on YouTube. It's depressing and fascinating all at the same time. His Dead Motel series is good too.
I grew up in South Macon and we had a hell of a mall. The Macon Mall opened in 75 and expended in 95 . Aside from the Oshman's Sporting Goods closing early on and eliminating guns from the mall there wasn't much you couldn't find there. I worked there in 92/93 for Video Concepts a Tandy/ Radio Shack off shoot and again in 06 for a Radio Shack. By 06 it was on a rapid downhill slide. But it wasn't just the Macon Mall. Maybe two years ago I took my son to one of his weirdo gamer conventions in Atlanta. We had to kill some time before check in at the Hapeville Marriott I believe it was. So we walked around Southlake Mall for a while. Wow! It was WAY more ghetto than the Macon Mall.
I don't know the answer to keeping brick and mortar stores in business but I hope they figure it out pretty quick. I hate waiting on the mail and UPS.

Man I love a good mall, idk why, it's just something about the experience. Me and my sister go to several, Christmas shopping every year. I do the majority of allmy shopping online as well, but it's just not the same as going in person. It's a shame how most of the malls have become mostly abandoned.

I always buy my guns majority of the time from pawn shops, if not Autrey's. Big stores like that don't compete with the competition. The same Glock that's new $539 at Adventure Outdoors, Autrey's, Moss Pawn etc. Is $639 at Gander Mountain. But the thing that I wonder is who in their right mind would give a $100 away and get ripped off. Sometimes Cherokee has better prices but by the time I spend time and gas going across town to save money supposively. I end up breaking even just staying local. To each is own

The sale is only worth it on merchandise that has a manufacturer set price. You know the stuff that is the same price even online. I picked up a depth finder/chart plotter for $100 less than online.... Also grabbed a black diamond head light for several $ off the online price. If you look there are a handful of deals

I see people almost daily over pay for guns at Academy. I believe its because they dont know better. Usually its people buying their first or second gun.
