Thread: Gun city opening in Palmerston North

Would kinda line up if they took over the old Torpedo7 building "off" rangitikei street...it's big enough, good access and parking etc its empty..

Yeah that would be a good site for them!

Meanwhile Hunting and Fishing across the street had sixty people in it.

Don't get too excited about Gun City coming to town. You're not going to get much out of it. You're a customer, one of those people they look down on and enjoy ripping off. Remember when David Tipple came on the old forum in person and defended has used gun prices by saying, some idiot will buy them.

I would, by a country mile, far rather support (and do) the small local retailers than big business. Turners in Feilding is a great example of a small town sports shop that has a reasonably wide range of equipment at fair prices, with the added bonus of deaĺing with the owner, or Phil, both of whom are knowledgeable about their products and local hunting and fishing information. It'd be a sad day to see these small shops disappear for the sake of an extra few dollars, or waiting period for ordered items to appear.

That would make it roughly 10 times bigger than it's Wellington store

Oh I haven't heard anything but if true having somewhere other than the current Palmy place is a bonus. I also shop at dead eye dicks which offer great prices. I used to shop at Hammils I think it was

True.. can't think of any other places ready for a new shop in that area tho...maybe Roxannes is selling up.. the gc hamilton guy was adamant it was going to be the next 9 or 10 days. He's waiting to send me something there that I ordered.. can't be arsed driving up to hamilton for it.

Hi all
In the Chch GC yesterday and they confirmed that hopefully opening at the start of November.
