Actually, Sportsman's Warehouse was on the raggedy-ass edge of bankruptcy until they were recently purchased by a Canadian farm-supply mega-company with oodles of cash. Google it.
SW's problems were self-inflicted and stem from an idiotic supply system. Store managers had no control over their own inventory or re-stocking orders. It was all centrally mandated, so the Miami store HAS to carry snowshoes, for example. Worse, the entire chain of stores were supplied from ONE warehouse here in Utah.
SW might improve, if there's somebody in Canada with the brains to overhaul the supply system and return local inventory control to local store managers. I hope so.
