Dick’s Sporting Goods In A Bind?

People wear Levi’s?

I’ve been wearing Levi’s for fifty years since I was a kid. I’ll be buying Wranglers or Lee’s the next time I buy blue jeans.

They sucked before they got stupid. I heard they were selling whizinators to college girls and boy scouts but don't quote me on it.

As much as I would like to Im just not buying the narrative. Dick's stock certainly is not suffering, at least over the last year. Same with the whole Nike/Kapernick deal. If we had that much power the NFL would be defunct and Repubs would control the house.

Retail is tough. It's tougher when your marketing is scattered (come if you are outdoorsy but don't like guns?), your prices aren't particularly competitive, and your often tied to traditional malls with the increased overhead that goes with that.

And they are competing with themselves with the Field & Stream stores. I figure Dicks will continue to sell stick and ball stuff and probably focus more there. I more wonder about the validity of their F&S stores going head to head with Bass Pro/Cabela's. I live in the Dayton, OH area, with a population of only about 800k (with all the suburbs), and there are three Dick's locations plus a F&S competing with a Cabela's and probably at least six well stocked guns shops, including a Point Blank. I have been buying and lusting for this stuff all my life and even I am starting to wonder who the hell is gonna buy all of that stuff...

I happen to be a fan of their 541 cut. Sadly they’re anti-2A bastards and I’m waiting for those last couple pair to wear out so they can be replaced by something else.

Dicks can flop around. I hope they continue to dribble, and their margins continue to be limp!

I work in Dayton about 4 days a week, and thought I had found most of the shops. Guess not. I get to Vandalia Tactical, and Olde English once in awhile.

Dicks absolutely was the worst chain sporting goods store long before their foray in to the politics of gun control. High prices and poor selection.

And an ammo supplier is suing them because Dick's placed a large order in 2016 and never paid or had it distributed: Using your vendor as a warehouse?
