It was a straight forward statement but could have been taken differently. It was just a play on words. I will not repeat it without her permission.
As far as Cabelas, personally I have never been to one so I am curious if they carry decent fly tying material. Personally again, I prefer the small Ma and Pa fly shops.
they may not have much fly materials, but they sure have a great selection of jogging suits. at around $100. I hate Dicks, I must have went in there 10 times since they opened, and i havent bought a thing. Go to wholesale sports, they have a great selection of fishing gear at a decent price. Brian
I personally can't understand why anyone would be upset about a large store of any type opening anywhere in this economy. Think about the contracting and construction jobs alone...that will certainly put food on someone's table at least short term, as far as the big picture...I worked minimum wage jobs when minimum wage was $4.35 an hour and managed to keep a roof over my head and feed my two kids so I'm sure there are quite a few people who will appreciate several hundred full and part time retail positions coming to the area.
True but it's a double edged sword. Kreugers Lumber, a small mom and pop hardware store closed it's doors after 94 years of business soon after the Home Depot opened.
yeah, so did the kreugers kids have to sell the family mansion now that the average joe can afford to buy the materials to build a dog house?... Ive spent my whole life in one horse towns... and the ma an pa kettles screw the town until someone comes in and competes... and then they bury their poorly ran businesses under an american flag..... and yes Jim... ive been drinking.
thats a good point you got there but sometimes local litle tackle shops sell more expencive than bigger stores!!!The major difference between a locally-owned business and a larger chain is in how the money recirculates through town. If you were to spend $100 in either of these two options and then track where their profit goes, the locally-owned business generally recirculates 7x the money back into the local economy. You can all figure where that other profit goes when spent at a chain store.
And yes, I will shop at chain stores for some larger-dollar purchases. But I will happily spend a little more at Ollie Damons, or the Reel Tackle Shop, or the Estacada Tackle Shop, or..... You get the idea!
