A local news story tonight, breathlessly delivered, was about Mills Fleet Farm coming to my metro soon (new construction). I've never heard them. What can some of you guys tell me about this company...?

Its going to be out near the I-90//I-29 interchange. The land where its being built has been bought from the "not a corporation" corporation health care system sports complex. Always found it funny how a "not for profit" health care system can have sub- "companies" that are for profit. But then again, I don't own 5% of the city and control 40% of its economy...

A non-profit can be in the same building as a for profit management company that oversees it. LOL Worked for a youth center that was owned by millionaires and the back was raking in Government commodities as a non-profit!

I always stop there when we visit relatives in Hudson, WI. I've bought 160 dukes there, lots of muskie lures, ammo, and the one we stop at even carried military surplus items like coats, jackets, you name it. I really like the store. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Fleet Farm, Scheels, and a couple smaller are real pleasant to deal with up here.

West of Mississippi I'm told is Fleet/Farm East of Mississippi is Farm/Fleet. Heard it was originally Farm/fleet at least when we first got one here it was. Was two Mills brothers or something owned it?? Then when old men died one son or cousin became Fleet/Farm one son Farm/Fleet..
Something like that?? We have Farm/Fleet here Got all things a guy likes..Kinda like Tractor Supply if you know that store..
