... and stores like Scheels continue to gain patronage. A true "all sport" store, not "all PC sports".
Gart Brothers (then acquired by Sports Authority) here in Colorado used to be that way, then headed down the path of only carrying running shoes, soccer cones and yoga mats. Not in business anymore...

The one near me used to be fairly good... very limited stock, but knowledgeable clerks and good prices. I uses to surf their sales mailer when it came out and benchmark prices for standard "Fudd" type guns...
Went down hill when the corporate PC crowd started running with their tails between their legs after every school shooting.... though a can't remember a one that used a Remington 870 or Marlin 336.
After that, they started treating you like a criminal if you dared to go into the gun section and ask to see something.
Bye-bye Dick's. I'm sure your demise has more to do with COVID and the cancellation of community and school sports programs, but I can't say that I'll miss you.

I would add one caveat that business who have always had a focused niche don't bother me- I wouldn't expect a rock climbing shop to carry firearms, nor a gun store to carry climbing gear.
It's when stores discontinue carry certain ranges of merchandise based on outside non-business influences that are annoying.

Where does it say that CBL owns Dick's?
Good question, especially considering that Dick's trades as a publicly held company. Ticker DKS is up on the year. Seems odd for a company that's in bankruptcy.

The article states:
Nowhere in the article does it reference Dick's. And, it appears Dick's is not affiliated with CBL in an ownership capacity.

Thread is fake news.
CBL is a real estate company that has nothing to do with Dicks.

Sorry- I got sucked into the thread on a false hope.
Not surprised a mall operator is having issues.
