Sad day in Howell for sportsmen (Dicks)
« on: Feb 14, 2007, 06:39 PM »
   Just thought I'd mention I went by Dicks Sports Center in Howell this afternoon. They started a going out of bissness  sale today. Not try to post any type of advertisment for them or anything. Heck, the discounts weren't that great yet.
  I truly loved going there. Lots of outdoor/ hunting/ fishing stuff. I'm really gonna miss the place.

  Actually Dicks Sports Center is not part of the Dicks chain. The've been around a real long time. Family owned store. Real large rifle and handgun selection as well.
  There really is no comparison to the chain store. I think the big chain stores are what did them in.

It's sad to see.  I've only been there once, but it was a nice shop.  It was really one of the bigger non-chain stores around.  Where are you guys going to get bait out there now that they're gone?
Some fishermen sit at home during the winter dreaming about fishing.  The real ones go out and do it.
