Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Alaska Sam's club closing?

Thats what they are saying on the radio this morning...humm sounds like bs.........sears up here would have go before them imo ...they don't have craftsman tools .....they have only craftsman TOOL ....cause the shelves are about cleaned out.

Hard to imagine that. They seem a pretty good counterpoint to Costco and look busy?

All 3 are closing. It's been on the news this morning. 260 closing nationwide.

Bummer,, I can hardly stand the unwashed herds at Costo,,

If they close Costcos crowding gets much worse! It is the highest grossing sales store in Costco's system already (Dimond Blvd store) and adding that much traffic will bring it from crazy to insane.

3 Bears for me 😁

The announcement came the same day that Sam’s Club’s parent company Walmart announced it would raise minimum wage for employees and hand out tax cut bonuses because of the new Republican tax law.

Just went by ...store closed today sign on door ...no employees parked in the usual spot ..a few on the side ..store mgr in entry way and her truck is parked xways in the drive thru pick up lane......sign also sayz they are to open Friday at 10am ...word is 25% off store wide. Damm that a big shopping hole in these parts !

Dammmm here I thought Walmart suckedazz...if Walmart charged a membership /maybe it would clean the place of the wic check .gov human debris crowd...

Closed for the day today.

Closed for good on the 26th.

Actually the costco in South korea is the highest grossing by store. US only the dimond costco is ranked 9th.

Damn. Just bought a bunch of AGM marine batteries there specifically for the warranty. So much for that.

Take’em back. 😉

Am seriously considering.

Return and re-purchase on the 20th when they are marked down.

When we were christmas shopping, I noticed a shortage of tools at Sears. The cashier said that they had been busy, I smelled BS.
I have since learned that all three Sears within 50 miles are closing. The only one left is the local owned little store, basically an appliance
store.


I think Sears is about done, darn shame. The CEO should have his balls cut off.

Yeah, that sucks. Fairbanks needs a place like Sam's just for the highway and bush folks up that way. It does sound like 3 Bear's may be opening a place up up there though. I know there's one in Healy already which makes it convenient for me when I retire. And they sell ammo and reloading components.





I like how you think.






Just being in there with all those morons makes me angry. You can't even grab a Polish dog and eat in relative peace.

What next? Seems like you folks are trying to keep us folks out by adding tax, raising prices etc.. LOL.

Its a damn shame though really. We had planned to run into fairbanks ever so often and buy a month or more worht of food etc.. at a time. Can't really afford it in Delta I dont' think.

Oh well, just have to work harder/longer while there.
