Default RE: Gander Mountain: are they sniffing glue?

Where I live, up until a month ago, there was a GM, A SW, and a Cabelas all within 10 miles of eachother. I'm really suprised that the GM didn't go out of business because since the SW went up, there have been very few cars in the parking lot at GM. The SW just went out of business over this last month. My boss knows the manager there who claimed hat Cabelas hurt their business because it draws alot more customers. I found that kind of strange, because I often window shop at Cabelas and then buy the stuff at SW, which is cheaper and everytime that I've been to SW, even on weeknights, the place was packed with customers.

The pricing at GM doesn't make much sense since Cabelas is 3 miles away from that store and all of the same items are far cheaper at Cabelas, and Cabelas has a much better selection. Maybe Gander has better prices on other things, but I'm not sure about that either.
