Schmitty Report post Posted August 15, 2007 Well, I spoke with somebody in the know today and it looks like ground has been broken for the new SW in Prescott Valley. It will be located near the new Walmart (Kohls, etc.) on the W. side of Glassford Hill across from the Tim's Toyota Center. I guess there are a few issues with the city of PV regarding a stoplight on Glassford Hill that have slowed Construction progress, but they are still shooting for a Spring 2008 opening date. I still wonder how Yavapai county can support a store like Sportsman's Warehouse, but I'm sure they did their research beforehand. I really don't think that it will have a huge impact on Prescott's gun stores except for maybe High Country. J and G's will still cater to the shoot em up crowd and Bill's Trading Post will still be cheaper than SW. We don't really have any real suppliers when it comes to optics, camping, fishing, outdoor wear, hunting gear, etc. so it will be nice to cut an hour off of the drive time for me. take care, Schmitty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattys281 Report post Posted August 15, 2007 They had a Popular's there years ago when the Wal-Mart was still in its original location. It was only there for a couple years, though & closed it's doors long before the rest of the chain folded. The way that town is booming, though, they might be getting in at the right time, where Popular came in a little too early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Country Breakfast Report post Posted August 15, 2007 I'd rather go to SW than Cabelas or BassPro. I'll still get most of my archery stuff from PV archery though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schmitty Report post Posted August 15, 2007 plus 1 for PV archery. I think that TC and his Dad will be making arrows for awhile to come yet. PVdon't have quite the inventory of SW, but prices are comparable and service goes a LONG way in the archery business. As for Popular, that store was more or less a joke when in came to inventory and employees. There is a similar store in the new location, Manzanita Outdoors, but I only spent 2 minutes in there while the wife was grabbing something from Old Navy.

catclaw Report post Posted August 24, 2007 Manzanita is pretty pricey. There really isn't any place to look at optics and such is there. I don't think Prescott is big enough to support a SW. Might be the first one to fold!!! I will, however, welcome it as I like shopping there. Dennis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
