New Academy coming to Portland

[V-Tach]

On the local news this evening.

As I tend to avoid SPID as often as humanly possible (especially SPID and Everhart), I think I would visit Academy more often in Portland....

Sweet, they just ripped out the seasonal section and made it more fishing stuff.

I'd never go to the Portland one but maybe it make that store less congested.

Im sure this is in response to Dick's Sporting Goods opening later this year... If the valley can get a Bass Pro, why cant we get a Gander Mountain.... the more competition, the better for us.....

 

[iamsamcrawdad]

Sweet!!

I saw that, it's good news since I'm heading back down an will be through the Portland area often.

 

[stdreb27]

I don't see dicks doing well at all down here.

Last I heard that bass pro in the valley was struggling. Lots of lookers no buyers.

Academy does well, because they sell a decent selecting of Low to mid range stuff cheap.

 

[OFFascist]

Excellent.

Also I'd much rather spend my money at Academy than at Dicks. Dicks is anti-gun.

Yup there's one in the new strip mall area they built.

Went to Academy to buy some 30-30 ammo.... the new remodeling especially on the gun/ammo dept looks nice...

last i heard is that Dicks Sporting IS going to carry firearms and ammo.... curious to see.....

 

[Chupacabra Hunter]

i believe the remodeling is finished in the Academy in CC..... it looks nice..I have never seen the store so fully stocked including ammo. I went in yesterday..... competition is good.... dont think I'll shop at Dicks Sporting but...(anyone know when the grand opening for Dicks Sporting?)

 

[TXDARKHORSE361]

Dicks won't get my business, in related news though they've broken ground on the Portland Academy

I don't think they've increased their salt water selection much if at all. And their gun accessories section still sucks.

Figured this was a good a place as any since we don't have a Corpus ammo in stock thread. But academy in CC has a lot of ammo right now, just about everything to include bricks of 22.

brinks of 22? thats good to hear.... remember the price?

The two options they had were both 375 rounds (sorry don't remember the brand but it wasn't something I've never heard of) the one in the box was $17.99 and the other was the tuna can style but not sure on the price. They also have apparently done away with the one per caliber three box max with the exception of bulk packs which is still one per customer.
