There was one in Lafayette when I was an undergrad at Purdue. Bought several handguns there, ammo was reasonable and very well stocked. It was much larger than the Fort Wayne store. I'm cautiously optimistic
shipping delays also impact new construction.I drove by this morning just to see where it is. It is completely wide open and empty, just like the picture

I know a couple of guys that actually know something about guns as well as training and competing that will be there on a part time basis..I've been to the Fort Wayne one many times. Personally, I think it's a miles ahead of wherever Gander Mountain/Outdoors hoped they could ever be. They carry legit outdoor backpacking gear like MSR and their selection is much more broad then the typical green packaged coleman junk you see at a Dicks/Walmart or whatever. In their backpack selection they actually carry brands like Eberlestock and there was no one else in town who's ever done that. Behind the gun counter it's much broader than your typical Rem 700, Savage, with some pump shotguns. They carry brands like Christensen arms, Daniel Defense etc and you can handle them instead of just looking online. The first time I walked through that store I was really concerned for one of my favorite local shops that carried outdoor backpacking gear because Sportsmans actually carried legit stuff. The problem with the store is that they have good gear, but it's being sold by people who don't really use it or know how to. I doubt most of the employees there have ever gone backpacking more than a single night or shot in any kind of competition or taken any classes.
Their Facebook page says they're open.Any updates on store opening date? I’ll be at our south side office Monday so hoping they’re open….
