Got my first catalogue from them. Full of fire arms and hunting stuff. I dont think the grandsons Shields catalogue has that many fire arms in it. Opening a store west of Des moines. Looks like a big ol store.

The Fleet Farms around here are going to hell. Since the Mills family sold out they've cut their inventory way back. Seems half the stuff I want they're out of.

Heard they got bought out by an equity fund company, building a lot of new stores, big ones too.

Ironic, the past 2 weeks have had a plethora of the "MILLS FLEET FARM" radio commercials  . I'm not even sure where one is locally unless they took over TSC ??

Getting disappointed here too. I am 45 minutes from 2 stores and 10 from a third. All stores are going down hill.

Have been to Fargo and Fergus Falls Mn, thought they were both pretty good but haven't been there now for 6 months so maybe getting worse. Might go to one tomorrow, not sure yet.

Mills Fleet Farm were very similar to Blain’s Farm & Fleet.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Ya Shameless. I'll drive 50 miles 1 way before I shop at the local Bomgaars. Prices are just way too high. Needed a trailer jack today $149.00 at Bomgaars. $97.00 at TSC. Same brand, same weight capacity's. New Fleet Farm opening up next week. Gonna wait a week or two before stopping in. Let the new ness wear off some.

Tom you got me excited for a minute there, then I looked at a map and don't think this new store will be any closer to us than the Ankeny store. We really like to just roam around in the store.
