misfish Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 Over priced ya you got that right. Bring a sails store and give them compitition. Plus MEC has no fishing stuff.
Uncle Buck Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 I believe it's being built as we speak across the street from tiger direct... works out perfect... drop wife off at costco, then go to Sail... then go and pick her up at costco... she's happy, you're happy, and you've just saved a lot of gas by not driving to vaughn for bass pro or the sail store there... wife easily spends 1 hr at costco, which is enough to get your fishing fix in and everyone wins

Oh and call before you go to make sure they're not closed for one of their random inventory/audit days.
Skipper D Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 They must do this to find out what needs to be restocked on the shelves after every time they sell a bit ....lol lol

Especially when I leave her to hit a sports store.

Stoty Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) I don't know I have never been either but if I recall right they just over hire and then drop people like nothing. I believe it was Stoty that made a post about it happening to him and others chimmed in on there store not being that great. Yup, that was me, I was laid off from the Oshawa store.Beautiful stores, but I was victim to the retail industry. Edited September 19, 2013 by Stoty
cuzza Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 Another knife in the back of the local small business How many 'local small' fishing stores are there in Oakville/Burlington? None The nearest fishing store is either Missisauga or Stoney Creek unless you count Grindstone in Waterdown and I doubt Sail will have any effect on them. You could argue that the positioning is better than the other two GTA stores (the other side of the highway from Gagnons and Bass Pro).
Raf Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Burns tackle on plains rd in burlington (if he's still operating). If Sail's going into the Ikea, that's (literally) a long cast away from Burns Tackle. Edited February 1, 2012 by Raf
hirk Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 Yup Burns is there. Oshawa opening made my decision to close an easy one.
cuzza Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 I didn't even know they were there! I even Googled "Fishing Store Burlington, ON" to check I wasn't missing anything and didn't get anything closer than Fishing World. If it's going into IKEA or near TigerDirect that's still pretty close!
pikehunter Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Posted February 1, 2012 Another knife in the back of the local small business Your'e exactly correct Dave. Yep Burns has been there on Plains Rd. for quite awhile, but as shown on the map, Sail is going to be near Tiger Direct and Costco, not in Ikea's current location. There is a somewhat large building under construction on the Service Rd. right now.
Uncle Buck Posted February 2, 2012 Report Posted February 2, 2012 Well you'd better like clothing, Goran. Oh and call before you go to make sure they're not closed for one of their random inventory/audit days. Being my size, i doubt anything will fit anyways... i'm spending less and less every year on gear/equipment i find
Fish Farmer Posted February 2, 2012 Report Posted February 2, 2012 Being my size, i doubt anything will fit anyways... i'm spending less and less every year on gear/equipment i find And if the price of gas doesn't start going down, I'll be doing my fishing here on the PC. I can only fish maybe once a week now, when I used to fish just about every day. I don't buy much tackle any more Buck, but when I do, I support my local guy
