I dont know WTF you’re talking about by “contracting their footprint” and I don’t think that you or anyone else does either. So I’m asking you to explain what in the actual **** you’re talking about.

I can’t handle reading the dumb shit that you post twice and it’s going to be just as incomprehensible as the first time because it makes no sense.
It is very clear what I am taking about.

Dad gum dudes, let’s all agree that SWFA does not manufacture their own scopes, and they are dependent on others for all of the parts via a supply chain network.

When you completely depend on others for parts and labor, the whole “just in time” Toyota Production System does not apply

I don't have a dog in the hunt nor know any specifics on what SWFA is doing or not doing. However, could the closing of the retail store and focusing on internet sales be a product of lack of labor to support the operation?

In the day and age of corporate takeover a lot of store fronts just aren’t as profitable as they used to be when people went out and shopped locally and Covid only made it worse. People shop from their couches and it’s there in a few days. A business like SWFA always has and always will reach more consumers via online retail.

There’s a lot of large retail operations in the firearms industry that don’t have a storefront and never have. A brick and mortar store/showroom is a lot more expensive than a warehouse and a lot less profitable.

The simplest answer is that the storefront was a part of their business model that wasn't working well enough to warrant continuing it. Most likely reasons of expense vs income. Just one of many examples of the substantial contracting going on with SWFA.

Do you know this for fact?
You state it as fact.
But maybe to many argumentative folks came through the door and one day they thought there is no amount of money that will ever come through that door to make it worth arguing with people like that dude. Lock that sum bitchin door.

You state all this stuff like its fact. But you do no know. Its all speculation.

And thanks for the English lesson. Cause I care. While arguing about a speculated business model on a hunting forum with a person that doesn't actually know anything for fact.

Again, feel free to use those nostrils.

I guess you missed that day in your McDonalds assistant manager training.

I’ve messed with you long enough. The term you’re looking for is downsizing, that’s what we in the business world call it. For someone that’s apparently so well versed in grammar too correcting everyone with their/they’re/there and your/you’re multiple times in this thread, you sure are as bad with that as you are the understanding of how retail business works.

Yes, when there’s unprofitable or low profit business divisions or ventures they are ended for more profitable options. That’s what people who are good at running a businesses and understand business do, something which you’re not.

Pro tip, don’t invent terms that you don’t know WTF they mean to make yourself sound smarter than you are. I promise that you are the only person in this thread that thinks you know WTF you’re talking about or are remotely intelligent.

Fyi I'm not going to respond to this thread or you any more.
I feel the ban hammer starting to get lifted.
And I just don't care. Like at all.

My choice of words was very purposeful. I KNOW that they are contracting their retail footprint, because there is abundant evidence. I don't KNOW that the contraction is part of a downsizing strategy. It could be argued, and probably would be given the level of pedantry in this thread, that closing their store was not downsizing, but rather reorganizing/restructuring.
