[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 131075, member: 3373"] I have done a fair amount of business with Cabela's, not much with Bass Pro. Would I prefer to see them stay separate, sure. I was in one Bass Pro Store and to tell the truth it was so big I had a hard time finding what I was looking for. Anytime something like this happens it usually turns out good for the owners as they become worth more but of little benefit to the customer. And for sure of little benefit to many of the employees. Time will tell. Now what to do? To tell the truth when I was in GF I frequently found the quality of merchandise at Scheels just as good and certainly the service of the SA was better. Do we sometimes think that a more locally owned company doesn't deserve us spending there? Or if you're in the Bismarck area and need fishing gear it's hard to beat Dakota Tackle. I'm not always normal but at the end of the year how much does it really cost us if we pay a little more at a local store as opposed to sending that money to Sidney, NE or Springfield MO? Life will go on for most of us as if it had never changed. [/QUOTE]
