Anyone heard anything about all the Sportsmans Warehouses in Texas closing?

yup... done. The one in Lewisville closed a while back...

The only good thing about sportsmens in lewisville closing is the insane clearance prices they had.

They opened one in NW Arkansas last year and they are closing it soon.

As of yesterday it was announced that Sptmns is closing 23 stores and selling 15 more to a Canadian firm. Only one in Texas is the Roundrock store closing. There will still be 29 stores in the US operated under the Sportsmans name. These are in addition to the stores closed last year.

The one in San Antonio will close in the next 60 days I was told.

Thats a shame, its by far the best place to buy hunting gear.

It was a shame. Where else could you handle ever pistol in ever caliber and barrel length?

I have 2 $25 gift cards for there I will sell for $40 if anyone wants them. PM me and I'll mail them.

S-W has been 1st on the list for quite some time; their financial situation has been weak for over 2 years now.

Don't be too surprised to see Gander Mountain start closing many of their stores also. The only thing that saved them last time was Cabelas buying out most of their catalog operation.

SW and GM both had the same problem...expanded too fast with not enough operating capital to keep things going!

my uncle won't be happy about the oklahoma city closing, his favorite place to get gear...

Im upset about the Round Rock store

I really miss the one in Lewisville what a shame

disapointed about the round rock store also
gonna hear this story alot, over expansion in the good times

This really is disappointing to see. We drove by the one off 1604 in San Antonio yesterday and saw the signs about closing. It was one of my favorite places to go.

I believe they tried to expand too quickly and then didn't provide enough marketing to attract customers especially when competing head to head with Cabelas and Bass Pro Shops. I miss the Lewisville store. They had fair prices and good selection.

we cant let the san antonio one close!!!! i go there all the time!!!!!! i dont understand how they are closing with the gun sales sky rocketing like this.... doesnt quite make sense any elaboration?? BTW i will go to the one in SA today and check it out!

alright i went to the san antonio SW and the deals were alright.... mostly 10% off.... not much left either. really not all that great of deals if you ask me. heres what i ended up buying.

So is there any left in DFW Area?

great selection of mechandise, lousy service (round rock)I know someone will say, oh the service was great. WHY THE CLOSING?????

not to disrespect you colt, but seems like everytime i went to SW i had great service, but i understand that experiences do differ, dont even get me started about the academy over here......where as the one near my hometown has great service....

no offense taken, been there, stood to be waited on while the clerk talked to his buddy about their fishing trip, same way at the gun counter,I really liked the place, the first time I was there a young man at the reel counter was the most polite and informative, few months later he was gone and the help just didn't seem to care. asked one of the guys at the gun counter if they had any gun vises in the back, I DON'T KNOW, turned around and talked to someone else. so I just quit going.

ya an experience like that wouldve changed me too....but iknow that sometimes people just cant get good help. one thing i noticed when i moved to San antonio was the poor work ethic that these "city kids" had. most of em ive talked to dont give a rats arse about there job, and where im from u do a job as good as u can and help the customer as much as possible....
