OSH '07 Redux -- Part II -- The Week

FWIW, as a sample of Ganders ridicilous pricing, Walmart was charging
6.47 for a 20# bag of charcoal. Gander was charging 9.99 for the same
bag (same brand). Even at todays gas prices, you could drive out to
walmart, get the charcoal, come back, and still come out ahead
pricewise. I don't understand how they thought they'd be selling the
ATV's they were showing either...

If they wanted to have a captive audience, then they needed to be at the
north 40, not camp scholler.

Ditto on the bike rental guys (wheel and sprocket). They had a tent near
gander. I don't think they understood their market. They were renting
bikes, yes, but they were also selling biking clothes and accessories.
To top it off, by saturday, they were gone, and there was a sign saying
"Wheel and sprocket has closed. Please return rental bikes to our retail
store at xxxxxxxx st". That was a couple of miles away and on the other
side of the highway. I hope they don't come back, we don't need that
attitude.
