Finally! The new store is OPEN!!
Some of you may remember that my parents' store burned last August. Well, after 16 long, hard months, the new store is FINALLY opening today! The shooting range is not finished, because of some confusion with the contractor, but the main part of the store is open for business. Hopefully the range will be done in the next couple of weeks. So, any of you hunters or shooters out there, if you're ever in Moline, IL, stop by Shooting Sports, on the corner of 5th Avenue and 12th Street, and tell them you know me- maybe it will get you some free range time.

Just talked to mom, and she says the first day went great. They still had a lot of inventory to get out, but they got most of that done today. She says they didn't sell a lot, but had a LOT of people stop in, and the local papers and news stations all want to do stories. One paper said they had never seen a business with this many people willing to help them out. They have some very loyal customers! They'll probably wait til the range is open before doing any big news stories, but at this point they've already got people coming in, and that's the important part!

Congrats, I remember the sad post last year when you said your parents store had burned down. Glad to hear the new one is open for business and all ready receiving good press!

What's great is that the press is so interested in promoting a gun store. As controversial as the whole gun issue is, it's great to see so many people who support the hobby.
