REI didn’t make it either, only REI to ever close its doors
at least at the time.

Sporting goods stores seem to be closing everywhere. Is amazon killing them too?

They just opened a Dick's in West Jordan. It replaced another sports store.

Wrong strip mall. Dick's is in the one with the old Toys R Us and Ashley furniture (formerly RC Willey)

Expect many more Dick's across the country to close

Maybe EPS is up, actual revenue is fairly steady.

I’m surprised the American Fork store is still open

Not surprising when they've effectively alienated half their potential customers

That’s super weird.
The Dude Abides
1/8/20 7:17pm
Yes it is weird that a chain would play politics and alienate half

1/8/20 7:20pm
Surely Dicks isn’t the only place to buy a gun. So they chose not to sell them. Why does that make
The Dude Abides
1/8/20 7:26pm
It was the reasons they gave and the timing.

Guess I don’t know the whole story.

The kid who shot up the FL high school legally bought his gun at Dicks.

Got it. I couldn't remember exactly what the story was there. Thanks.

Because of the grandstanding. It’s not that weird.

It really isn’t.

I think Dicks not selling guns where guns are good business

They should team up with Menards. Seems like a natural pairing.

That’s what happens when you make policies that contradict God given rights

I must have missed something. What is this about?
The Dude Abides
1/8/20 7:06pm
First they would sell any type of gun to anyone under 21 then they removed them all together
IceBlueCoug
1/8/20 7:11pm
So Orem depended on gun sales to stay open? Is that what you’re saying?
The Dude Abides
1/8/20 7:15pm
No. It's all the other ancillary sales that go along with guns. Once a customer

Division Bell’s comment makes sense. I guess I wonder why people got so mad that Dick’s
The Dude Abides
1/8/20 7:29pm
Nope. I can hear you just fine.
Division Bell
1/8/20 7:30pm
That’s because you have me blocked but not ignored apparently. No big deal.

I guess I missed that part of the Bible
Mr Bassman

"God" meaning higher power than government, not "God" meaning the Bible guy.

I mean, what higher power said we need guns?

Wait his name is Ed Stack and he named the place Dicks? What the?

Dad was Dick, and Dad started a bait and tackle shop that Ed grew

Oh my. Dick Stack is the guy's name. Poor guy.

Never did find them appealing. I don’t get the hype when there’s such a better online selection these days.
