Bass Pro buys Sportsman's Warehouse

I guess neither side of the acquisition did much market research on implications of the deal. Even the guys working a Cabela's today thought it was a bad idea.

It's crazy that Johnny didn't consult with the guys working at a local Cabela's before this $700M deal.

If your aquisition of brand is going to result in a hemorrage of that brand's customers, then perhaps the purchase is not such a good deal. So far, I have seen comments or spoken to about 50 people about this development, and zero are happy about it. Maybe I just interface with a certain type of person, or there are ulterior motives for the purchase to which I am unaware. If they just blindly thought filling SW with Red Head crap was going to be warmly received, I believe they are mistaken.
