    Went in there one time and the sticker shock factor on guns and anything related kept me away. $35 for a can of powder and that was 10 years ago. Ammo was close to double that of Walmart which was only 3 miles away.

    Clothes and other sport items were reasonably priced. They should have stuck with anything but firearms.

    Firearms are some of the most expensive inventory a retailer can have next to jewelry. Firearms must sell, not sit around in racks as inventory. GM apparently couldn't figure that out.

    Yep, the store in Roanoke survived the first round of closures but it was recently announced they will be closing too.

    I don't see how any stores like this make it. I went into a Dick's store a few days ago and I don't see them making it long.

    Went to the GM in Texarkana last week. Prices STILL MSRP + 10%, even at sale discount. Walked out empty handed. They simply priced themselves out of business.

    Drove past today and parking lot was jammed. I feel badly for the employees losing their jobs.
