Thread: Small Retailers Struggling/Under attack

I visited a small gun store last week with an owner I've known for 25 years. they have not sold a firearm since February
normally they would have sold 10 shotguns during March and April. no rifles sold over the road. it's a fact of life, and if they go under, so be it. But they are the only gun store within 45 mins drive in any direction. is this the future? also interesting to hear that guncity is looking to expand into the central north island - I work with several real estate agents who are fielding inquiries

I believe the demise of Hamills (Taupo) was brought about by the failure of Trev Terry Marine - receivership/bankrupt/whatever.
I hope Sarin can pick up some pieces.

I saw something like that as well, don't know him personally but they were always great to deal with online.
