Bass Pro - Sportsman's Warehouse Merger Canceled
Looks like the feds thought the merger was a little too monopolistic as well.

Good news to hear that. Its always nice to have alternatives for big box stores like that. No good would have come from that merger for the consumer--just higher prices.

Re: Bass Pro - Sportsman's Warehouse Merger Canceled
I had heard about this on another forum - and it is good news.
I hate going to Cabelas / Bass Pro - Yet Sportsman's has always provided great service. They may not have the inventory but it is way less of a sterile experience going to Sportsman's.
Probably why in the last year I have spent ~$350 at Cabelas/Bass Pro and upwards of $8k at Sportsman's. I also like that it is usually the same sales guy (Pete) who helps me when I have money setting fire to my debit card and I have to have some new shiny thing that I do not need or have the room for.

Fantastic. The merger would have been monopolistic. This time I'm glad the Feds stepped in.
