I've been working on a deal for a little over a year to buy a Sporting goods store, and I am happy to say that we close next Friday and I will be in and operating Saturday the 13th!!!
I will be doing Bob Bauer's Outdoor World radio show next Saturday, the 13th to announce it, from 7am-10am....feel free to call in....248-559-9797.
97.1 on your FM dial, or you can listen it live with streaming audio at:
www.camp2fires.com (http://www.camp2fires.com)
My heart, my soul, and ALL of my money has gone into this deal, and it is now becoming a reality!!!
It's a 5,000 sq. ft. stand alone building, which has been in business for nearly 30 years, specializing in hunting, fishing, archery, firearms.
The name is KD OUTDOORS, located in Waterford, on M59 just west of the Oakland Pontiac Airport.
I will need EACH and every member here to spend only $1,492.37 at the Grand Opening!!! :D :D :D
The website needs to be revamped, but here it is.

I will definitely stop in and say hello.
I need some new carbon arrows soon anyway.

Good luck, I shop there all the time. It is a great business with a good location. Make sure you have some of thoes big sqare dip nets for minnows cause I buy one every year for the dock. Bruce.
Congrats! Wishing you the best in your venture. BTW do you happen to have a Rio clouser line or an SA Mastery muskie/ pike taper in a 9 wt? I want to be one of your first customers...:)

Congrats, KD's is a great place. I find myself there from time to time.
Let us know when you get those square minnow dip nets in for Bruce William. :) I'm in the market for a new one myself, the umbrella style anyways, they're hard to find for some reason.

congratulations on a very well placed store and a wise purchase. i have known the previous 2 owners and both have had a good reputation in the community. you should do very well.one day i will have to come meet you as long as you are unarmed.
hey, you knew i had to slip one in . its all in good fun.it will be a pleasure to
keep a small store in the hood with all the big chains arround. i'd much rather shop with a local store. i wish you well.

See. We all are getting on board now to make arrangements for all of your free time:) :) .
Open early for those of us who really like to get out early which is the way a fisherman is supposed to do it. Then, you have got to stay open late for the guys who oversleep or, more importantly, have to work through most of the day and cannot get there in the morning.
All in good fun--and again, congratulations on you new life.

Thank you all for the support.
Bruce,
I'll check on the nets after I'm in and let you know.
Esox,
Same thing.....
WalleyeMike,
I will be fine-tuning the hours, but rest assured the doors will be open early, the coffee will be hot, and the minnows will be lively!!!

ESOX,
KD does not carry those lines, sorry.
However, I think I am going to discontinue the fly-fishing equipment.....there is a new large store that recently opened in the area.
When I do, I will sell off all of the current fly-fishing inventory at GREATLY DISCOUNTED prices.

When is the store opening under your management? I live downriver but work in Waterford everyday.
EDIT: I see you will be opening for the first day tommorrow. Hopefully I won't be too burned out after work on Monday so I can stop in.
