New Field and Stream Store Dayton, OH

[Kdog]

Wife made me go shopping this afternoon and we stopped at a recently opened Field and Stream store just south of dayton ohio.

Pre Christmas prices are a bit shocking. However, I was impressed with their stock of tying materials and tools. Not too hatefully priced either. They had 4 aisles to neatly arranged and well organized materials. May be worth a drop in if you pass one.

Can you use Dick's coupons?

I do not know, after your post, did some research and found out they are the same company. Stores are a bit different though. the Field and Stream stores have less clothing and more hunting and fishing hardware.

First I've heard of it!! but if you can find decent tying materials that's cool

That would explain why I've seen Field and Stream-branded merchandise in the Dick's Sporting Goods near my job.

We have three Dick's in the Tulsa area. I highly doubt they're going to open a Field and Stream store, although a different option for tying goodies besides making the trek over to BPS would be nice. We're getting a Gander Mt., though. I've heard they carry tying supplies, but not a bunch.

Looked at the Rochester NY store and theirs a Dicks Store right across the road!!LOL Rochester is on the way back home. We have a Dicks 1/2 hr. from here and unless it's a really big sale and less than others I don't even go in.

The FS store is surrounded by Dicks Stores. There are two within 60 miles and I am almost dead center between them Their are 8 Dicks Sporting goods stores that I know of and probably a few I do not.

Our local BPS has a maybe 12' wall of tying materials and the FS store has 5 32' rows of materials. Our BPS store is getting ready to move and probably gonna raise prices as well.

My buddy was on the team that set up the F&S stores. He started at a Dicks & moved up.

I see Dicks popping up all over the place, but in comparison, their inventory's weak for the outdoorsman.

F&S is a great concept for Dicks. We need something where I'm at in NoVA. BPS is either 70 miles north or 100 miles south. Cabealas is about 100 miles.

I'm a die in the wool Cabelas guy, but mostly internet. Would buy F&S if they were local and had what I need.

Interested to see how they'll play in the marketplace.

WOW, I'm wondering with all the stores that carry fly tying supplies; how many of us are out here tying? I know the mark up on feathers and fur is out of sight; but don't see how they can compete with the internet.
