x2 I know what you mean!

I have family members who are police, works for Greenville county, and friends that work for news 4. They all said that bps was gonna build here in Greenville, didn't go through, Spartanburg, and then Anderson. They all said the reason they was not going to build in the upstate was because South Carolina ( the upstate) would not give in to all the tax breaks land at very low cost and not wanting to put a lot into the project. Since then I give them very little of my business. Plus there higher on most everything. I have hunting clothes from other stores that last 5 times longer than bps brands. There tackle and knives are 3-4 times higher than local stores. Example dexter knives at bps 20-50 dollars. At Johnny's tackle in north myrtle beach 5-18 dollars. Last time I was there I bought 4 knives for the price of one at bps. Cabelas is cheaper and better quality.

I dont fool with Basspro either! They never have what I'm looking for.

Nothing but eye candy. I'd be nice having the store closeby. You can pick out something you want to buy and go home and buy it cheaper over the 'net. That way you get to liook at it before buying instead of guessing the quality of something. Academy prices are still WAY better than Cabelas, much less BPS.

They were looking at an area where I work near GSP and it didnt happen because of the taxes.

It will be nice to have a Cabelas in Greenville but it will be a little disappointing to me. I have been to the Cabelas in Dundee Michigan and it is more than twice the size of the one in Greenville . I am sure the Greenville store will be nice but I wish they had put it elsewhere. Woodruff road is parking lot at all times of the day.But I know that I will brave the traffic and be there sometime.

Skip the camper Ronnie and stay at my place. We could walk to Cabela's :-)
