I hope that in some small way that I contributed to their demise.
I can't speak for other departments, but the fishing section in Calgary was chronically mismanaged.
I wouldn't be surprised if their own employees had a hand in it after witnessing their completely dysfunctional inventory control.

When I was in Edmonton earlier this summer, I hit both Cabela's and both Wholesale Sports. The south Wholesale Sports was not even on the same level compared to the other three for fly tying/fishing supplies. It could still be better, but I was able to find some things I could not find anywhere else. So it is a loss no matter how you look at it.

Not Something to be proud of if someone where to ask me....
That comment ranks right up there with turning a blind eye to shoplifting.
If one is not part of the solution they are part of the problem
But, to each their own.

this was such a surprise to me cause i spoke to some of the higher end staff there and rumor had it that another big fishing/sporting chain in the US was going to purchase a few of the stores in western Canada. i just got back from the calgary store nothing outragous just your typical sale. the funny thing is the shoe and clothing departments were the first to look like it was ransacked stuff everywhere. lol

Yeah and another 600 people are out of work in this province. But you'll save $2 on flashers so who cares? Wake up.

And thats a flasher and stuff that the open shops wont get to sell and stay in business and then everyone will complain. It is the way it goes but for the shops still open that hurts them more especially the smaller guys. They will pay big in the short term.

It's really too bad. I work a few Saturdays per month in the fishing section of the Lethbridge store. I really feel bad for the full time staff there, they're good people.

Just a guess.
The press release indicated that the stores will remain open until December 28. That is more than 100 days of 'sale' prices. Don't look for any bargains just yet and there likely will be no bargains on electronics. Is there ever?
Warehoused items will be re-packed and wholesaled off to Bass Pro or Sales or some of the smaller regional vendors in Ontario I'd guess, and I'm thinking that the clothing will be the only real bargains to be had.

let me explain it for you....its called the free market.....when companies compete its best for the consumer in many ways. If a company cant compete either their service or prices are not competitive. In WWS case i believe it was both.
So if you believe in the free market (unless your a commie) and you are a consumer take advantage of the sale if there is something you need. Im happy we live in a free market....its part of the reason it makes me Happy!!!

Let me help you out with that as well. I Can do whatever I want with the money as it is none of your business nor concern. But thanks to the free market I have plenty of choices.

Actually, you will have one less market choice soon.
And that is never a good thing.
