Haven't been in Dick's since I bought a new driver in 2013.
I think most folks that would buy firearms quit doing business with them years ago.
Ours is reformatting as well. Supposed to reopen in August, if I remember correctly. I only use them in an emergency.
Our local dicks store here in North nj is stacked to the gills with top notch fishing gear - it’s a huge fishing section and guys that work the fishing section have all top of the line gear in stock !!
The name says it all.....
Talked to an associate at our local field and stream and he said they were getting rid of all hunting and firearms but we’re gonna expand fishing section with remodel. He also mentioned something about adding a climbing wall.
can't blame them for doing away with stuff that don't sell good...
they should start selling medical supplies for all the blood vessels getting popped...
Maybe it’s Antifa filling Dicks parking lot? Ours is always busy looking

It has little to do with woke. It is profit margin. They make more selling soft goods, clothes, shoes, etc., than they do selling hard goods, basketballs, fishing rods, guns, etc. It is the same pattern that closed Hermans, Sports Authority and a few others. They start to give more and more floor space to soft goods, losing sight that most of their floor traffic is from people buying hard goods.
"The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments

exactly. Stores selling soft goods are a dime a dozen. The outdoors oriented stores each follow this same business model til they fold. Dicks around here have been selling soft goods only for several years. Mainly just a uniform/shoe shop now. It will fail when a new flavor comes around just as it did with Sports Chalet, Sports Authority and Sportmart. Unfortunately I’m seeing the same business model coming into to play at Sportsman’s Warehouse since BPS took them over. Once the hard goods are gone and the foot traffic from outdoors people decrease, they flounder til they fold. Way too many better options on soft goods out there price wise and selection wise for the consumer.
If I looked good in spandex and my boats paint had glitter, I’d fish for bass.
Luckily the Crappie, Stripers and Tuna don’t seem to care.............. BigBry
They have not gotten a penny from me for a few years now and won't.

If I am buying a gun I am not buying at Dicks, BPS, or Cabelas anyway. I have a local gun shop for that. Let them get rid of guns.

Around 10 or 15 years ago, Dicks would clearance a lot of high priced rods around February. G Loomis would be sale priced, plus 25 percent off clearance. That stopped long ago.
