Awesome,..........Were getting another Dollar General.

Bold move cotton, with all that mountainous public land in Texas.

Haha
this is all based on research I’m sure so that tells you all the hardcore back country Texas guys that buy $1000 puffy to go on one elk hunt

Thanks for sharing Wutang. That store will make massive amounts of money off of Texans alone.

I love my Kuiu, but when they introduced the Burner parka, my first thought was that now Texans can hunt 2nd rifle.......

Lest anyone be offended, I was born in Texas.....

Put a store in a heavy population center with a decent hunting culture? Or put a store in the middle of BFE?

So when are you world-class business leaders going to be doing guest lectures at the nation's top business schools?

C.R.E.A.M. The OP, of all people, should know that!

Given the number of people (who never look like they’ve stepped in the woods) in and around Ketchum wearing First Lite gear (brick and mortar in Hailey) this is a debatable point. First Lite is underwritten by the chernin group, I’d say they have their financial ducks in a row.

We’ll see whose doors are still open in two years’ time.

I would guess far more Kuiu is worn in DFW and shooting houses across Texas than all of the Western US.

I, for one, am glad that they didnt put a store in my area. Like i need any more help spending money....

 

[Bump79]

I saw that as well.. First thought was this isn't just a new store, they probably going to be based out of Texas for tax purposes.

Quite possible this is based on sales during conventions/shows as well. I know the Kuiu booth was a hornets nest when i was looking at the proximity line during the DSC convention.

Dallas is less than a day's drive to a lot of destinations, and there's a ton of money there.

Makes sense to me. People aren’t buying their hunting gear when they get to their hunt, they’re buying it in advance of their hunt. Dallas has a lot of hunters and a lot of money

The Beretta Gallery has been the for quite some time as well. Nice place to visit and it is awesome looking at shotguns that are truly pieces of art. Where else can you go and fondle a $125K+ shotgun?

Guess they too missed the WKR Guest Lecturer Series on how to run a successful business.

Except their store is literally a few blocks from their headquarters and distribution center, they could probably rotate out sales staff to run it so the only extra cost to them is utilities and property taxes on a relatively small storefront.

Additionally from a logistical standpoint they only need to stock one or two of each item as anything extra could be sent over in a couple minutes. They don’t have to tie up tons of inventory in the event someone might buy it as the warehouse down the street is already taking care of that part.

I see Fall 2023 as open date, has anyone seen a more specific date? I'm glad I'll be just close enough to check it out but yet far enough away it may save my wallet some

They will leave California soon. No reason for them to stay here.
