Choices are better for us. We have both stores in our area and I like them being separate. In the end I really only buy from them when I think I need something immediately. BPS has a much better fishing section than Cabelas, but it seems sales are more numerous and diverse at Cabelas. Ah well it is what it is. I'd think the outdoor gear share of the market is huge when you combine these 2 VS everything else. Maybe like Ford buying GM? I guess he already owns the 3 largest fiberglass fishing boat brands and the number 1 tin fishing boat brand. He might as well own the majority of the retail items that we fill them with. Good for him but in the long run not sure it is good for us.
