I stopped in today to grab some two cycle oil, chainsaw files, etc.
The shelves were bare. The last time, the inventory was only skimpy.
I'm predicting that the new owners will morph this thing into something I have no intention of frequenting.
Good bye, Fleet Farm.

We just had a Blain's Farm & Fleet open down in Kalamazoo a couple of months ago. It's a GREAT store. 190,000 sq. ft. We had nothing like it around here but Tractor Supply, their prices always seemed high to me. It's my go to store now.

Have you been in a Fleet Farm up north? Say Stevens Point, or over to Winona? No comparison. Not only are they trying to compete with Farm and Fleet, but also Menards. What's with all the grocery aisles? Too bad.

"IF YOU CAN'T GET IT AT FLEET FARM,YOU DON'T NEED IT" OK, maybe I don't really need two cycle oil, chansaw files, chainsaw bar oil, etc. Heck, I might as well just get rid of the wood fired boiler and burn fossil fuels. Most of the posts here make me feel like I'm in some kind of time machine. Six months ago I would have make some of those comments, myself. So much for ancient history. Here's a current event: The Mill's Fleet Farm in Brooklyn Park Minnesota SUCKS, and is getting worse every day. BTW. Blaines and Mills ain't the same thing. AND Mills recently sold out to an investor group. The stores were pretty much unchanged for a bit, but, at least the couple I (used to) frequent in Minnesota are going downhill fast, now. So, does anyone know where I can find my chainsaw support items. I just might try Dicks.

Mills Fleet Farm used to be my all time favorite store. Friends from out of state would stop in and tell me how wonderful it was to have such a store that not only had everything you could want but at reasonable prices. And to top it off, the staff was kind and very knowledgeable. Since they've sold out, they no longer have what a guy needs and if they do, it's junk!! The employee turn around has been outrageous and now your stuck with some young collage student that doesn't want to be there and doesn't know anything! Local radio station keeps telling us to buy local, but if this is what I have to deal with I'll buy on line!
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

What's with all the grocery aisles? Too bad. Don't feel like the Lone Ranger...... The Hudson store has turned into a Walmart. As you walk through the door, you're right in the food and clothing aisles, and all the man stuff is crammed back in the corner. They've added many more shelves crammed with cleaning products, household supplies, food items, pop.... typical Walmart items. They should have two entrances, one for guys and one for ladies shopping for a sweater! The local Menards is killing them.

Hey muskrat love, I've been in the Hudson store at least once a year for last several years. Walked out with an armload of Duke 160s just this past summer. My brother in law moved there several years back and when we come up to visit we always hit mills fleet farm in hudson. They used to have a great army surplus section too but I e watched that dwindle down to just a row or so way on south east end of store only. We do not have fleet farm stores down here where we live, sort of wished we did. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
