It isn't sad, it is the market dictating need.  If a business is going to stay open it will do so by adjusting to the market need and not forcing the hand and then being shut down due to lack of business.  

 

 

Dick’s was taking over from Dick Stack by son Ed. He admitted that he stopped selling firearms because of his view on guns not as a business decision. In the first year from stopping the gun sales Dick’s lost $250 million in sales. And because of the gun sales loss laid off 40,000 employees . This was in an interview on CBS  with Ed Stack Dick’s son. 

The Dicks in WLB, NJ has a limited fishing section but the one in Freehold, NJ has a fairly decent fishing section.  It is 20 miles between stores.

I'm sure Irene will be by here shortly.

I hear you guys, personally though I'll keep supporting mom and pop tackle shops, along with site sponsors.    I'm sure Dick's thanks you for your business 🙂

I don’t shop there, not even sure I’ve ever been in one. I just think you’re being over the top in your observation.
