xtralettucetomatoe580 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 It’s a big sounding number, but only 1.7% of revenue??? That’s not exactly crippling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted March 29, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 29, 2019 Interesting What happened at Dick’s confirms new study results out of Stanford University. Respondents said they were more likely to buy a product to support a CEO’s political stance than they were to boycott in disagreement, but their actions revealed the opposite. When asked for specific examples, 69 percent could name a product they’d stopped buying, and only 21 percent could recall a product they started buying.

They've never had shit for hunting supplies. In fact I read recently they are getting out of it altogether.

Anler Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I'm sure they knew it would have an effect on sales. It was their choice, not sure why the Jimmie's are ruffled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammin Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 150M lost on firearms sales. Most people I know dont just go into a store for 1 thing...... Wonder what they lost out on, on "other products" sales wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if they thought that people who agreed with them would shop there more and offset any sales loss from guns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmo Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Dicks does a lot for our local kids teams. Sponsorship and coupons beginning of season let’s you load up on equipment with big sales. Thats the only reason I went there. Kids are done with sports so I’ll probably never go back. On a side note whoever it was doing the hiring there is my hero. Always loaded with hotties.

The title suggests they "lost" money. It's just lost sales from not selling guns. And the article shows that they expected it. Stock price is up since they announced they were eliminating sales of certain style guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son is a big boy and it was easy to find baseball stuff for him there. They do have a great selection. The store by woodfield is 2 floors and yuge.

Angry ginger Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Dicks pretty much destroyed all the other smaller chains around so while brick and mortar may not be what it once was for most they are the best option around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
