Maybe it's a rumor. Maybe it's not.

I've always thought that with Clarksville, IN and Cincinnati, OH that a BPS located in Central Kentucky wouldn't happen. However, when you look at their map, they are opening stores in areas real close to where they already have stores. Look at Georgia, look at Chicago metro, look at Texas, look at Missouri...Obviously, the demand is there and they know something...that company is a beast and growing like crazy.

I find Georgetown a little odd...obviously, it has to be on a major interstate, but with the store in Cincinnati and Louisville I would think that somewhere just south or just east of Lexington would be a better play. Richmond or Winchester, for instance...but land and future development is obviously an issue. There is kind of a "hole" in their map when you look at Kentucky and West By God Virginia.

If a company like Sportsman's Warehouse survives at Hamburg in Lexington given (1) the cost of that land, and (2) it's not a household name...then I think BPS would have absolutely no trouble whatsoever. People would come and it would be busy. It would draw people from Central, Eastern, and Southern Kentucky all day long. Everybody and their Granny's dog knows the BPS name and the BPS logo.
