walmart not selling flw products

[Tim_T]

I am going by Walmart today and I will ask the manager if they are still carrying FLW products.

BTW, All Walmarts did not quit carrying firearms, justr certain stores. The stores that did were not selling enough firearms to justify carrying them. I lnow the store by my house still carries them because I was checking out some shotguns last weekend.

The information I got is that they only have firearms in certain stores until stock onhand is depleted no additional firearms will be ordered. Thats from the sporting goods people at four different walmarts

That may be true, since you are getting your information from people in the know. I do know that the Wal Mart on Preston in Hillview just put a new Mossberg in their display within the last week, but that could have been in the back and they just got room for it.

When all of this first started I received a press release from someone that had quotes from Wal Mart big wigs stating that they were not discontinuing firearms sales at all stores, but just the ones where they didn't sell. Said it was a simple business decision and that the stores where firearms sell regularly would continue to stock them. I remember one of the quotes was something to the effect of "we won't stock them in markets that don't sell enough, just like we don't stock snowshovels in locations in Florida." Something like that.

The Walmart near me just put all their FLW soft plastics and jigs on clearance. I don't know if they are getting rid of last years inventory or getting rid of the whole brand.

I don't know about FLW products specifically, but Walmart has said they are reducing their fishing departments up to 60% in some stores. They are even removing reel cases. The article I read said they saw more value in having larger ticket items like furniture take up the floor space. But I doubt that relates to FLW products, its the department as a whole.
