FULL TITLE: Dick's Sporting Goods considers removing hunting supplies from stores because of a decline in sales since they banned selling guns to anyone under 21 and stopped stocking assault rifles
Dick's Sporting Goods is considering taking hunting supplies off its shelves in more of its 732 stores across the US, in light of declining sales in the sector.
Dick's, which operates Dick's Sporting Goods, Field & Stream and Golf Galaxy stores, announced a planned test-run in August, announcing it would pull the products from 10 of its stores where the sales of the gear had performed the poorest.
'We'll have to wait and see how the 10-store test does,' CEO Edward Stack said during an earnings call on Wednesday, according to CBS.
Dick's is 'looking at a number of stores where the hunt category significantly underperforms,' Stack noted, adding that additional adjustments would be based on what's 'a smart thing to do from a business standpoint.'
The sporting goods chain removed assault-style weapons from all of its stores across 47 states in February.
The Pennsylvania-based retailer made the decision following the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida that left 17 killed and 15 injured in a brutal attack by a former student with an AR-15 rifle on Valentine's Day.

Maybe they can sell Tranny underwear.
Will be filing for bankruptcy in a few years...
All my friends and relatives who are hunters, used to go to Dick’s for hunting gear, not anymore, removing this is a sign the company is no longer healthy or relevant.
This is what happens when your company bends to leftist pressure, especially when the left are not your customers anyways, to please them while alienating your base of customers.
May they go out of business. Store ruined.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Or sex toys
Maybe they can sell Tranny underwear.
The would have to change the name to ‘No Dicks’ or ‘Chopped off Dicks’
it would make inventory and store management easier if they removed all products from the shelves
The left always fails to see the obvious, either out of stupidity or mental disease, take your pick.
Several years ago they removed the shooting and then the hunting gear from their store in Fredericksburg, VA. That store lasted only a few years more before it had to close due to under-performance.
Maybe they can sell Tranny underwear.
Well, they’ll certainly have room for a M2M massage parlor in the old hunting section of the store.
What could go wrong???
They chased away the gun owning market.
Maybe they can get the Subaru crowd to “share the love” with overpriced clothes.
Get “woke” go broke.
I’ll never darken their door.
The MBA’s out of Leftist Business College thought it was a good idea.
.... they just shot themselves in the foot.
No, they shot themselves in the head.
F’em
Maybe they can change their name to “Dick’s overly gay jogging outfits”.
Well DUH ... maybe they need to hire Slow Joe Biden to help them out in the thinking department!
Its there biggest money maker, their numbers people have to know this. The markup on that stuff is insane.
Can they make these margins up by selling soccer balls to leftist idiots who don’t shop there anyways, or can’t because they are all broke because of 80k a year in tuition for a college to tell them what to think?
