The store in my area bit it last spring, with no fanfare.  I happened by to do a little pre-trip shopping last year and found a note on the door that they had ceased operations the day before.  It had been in operation for only 2 years or so, but it was like they never made a serious attempt to compete.  They established a footprint after Bass Pro (maybe 15 miles away) and Cabelas (maybe 25 miles away).  However, I never saw a single advertisement and their placement was along the back side of a shopping mall.  I guess they figured that being next to a Target store was enough "advertising," but there were also other Target stores in the area.

Go figure!
