Gander Mountain has filed for bankruptcy. Who knows if they will emerge as a going business...

Bass Pro has agreed to buy Cabela's but the total sale was Bass Pro buys the stores, some bank buys the Cabela charge card business. The merger of the charge card business into the bank is under regulatory review, which is delaying the merger. The CEO of Bass Pro has said he plans to keep Cabelas and Bass Pro stores both open. I'm not skeptical of his intentions, but it seems to me that those three stores plus Field and Stream really overbuilt during the last five years. I am 20 minutes from a Bass Pro, 15 minutes from a Cabela's, 25 minutes from a Field and Stream, 40 minutes from another Field and Stream, and one hour from a second Cabela's and a second Gander Mountain. Plus numerous Dick's Sporting Goods. (I'm in the Northern Cincinnati area.) We cannot need so many!
