Default Pro Nature

I see that pro nature is gonna open a franchise in Stettler. We have them stores all over and not cabela’s or bass pro. But maybe the Alberta one will be a way better one than here.

Are one of the existing sports stores re-branding to pro nature?
Or is this going to be a whole new store?

If I was planning a store, Stettler would definitely not be my first choice, given the economic situation .

Wouldn't be my first choice either. Stettler has TWO gun stores already that I hardly ever see anyone else in. Not sure how they stay afloat.

Don’t want to be dirty mouth about pro nature stores but i don’t really see that banner in Alberta.

Don’t have any local. Have to drive 40-45 minutes to the closet one. Some items when on special are worth the trip and shop online at bigger names for other.

When i was looking at their flyer i always look at the new stores or to be new stores just found it funny that the only place out west was Stettler. I don’t have nothing on them trying too expand out west. Hope the have the best of chances and maybe it will workout. Some are in the maritime’s and Ontario.

Romar has a Quebeccer at the counter.
My first thought was that they bought a franchise.
Would make sense, since they cant sell motorbikes anymore.

Can't?
I didn't even know they were selling guns until I went in to get some dirtbike boots for the boy. I think they had four pairs left.

They lost their dealership status for Yamaha and Kawasaki.
So I've heard.
