If I had to compare them to a competitor, I always feel like I'm shopping at Dick's. But can't say I've stepped into a Gander in 2, if not 3, years.
My absolute least favorite sporting goods store. The most unhelpful people I have ever dealt with. Numerous different gander's too.
I walk into every store knowing that I know more than the person trying to help me. It makes things easier.
