The wife and I had the chance to get out to Greentop's new store location today and I thought I would give a small review of our visit.
The Positives
The store is significantly bigger than their previous location
They have expanded their gun selection (vastly rifles) now its easy to be able to reach, hold and examine them without hogging up the entire isle
The isles are actually passable without having to bump into other customers (even if they are pushing a cart)
They seemed to have more staff on duty. This is a positive for my visit but only time will tell if they keep the same number of staff. I do note that the staff they did have were always busy, it was that crowded on our visit.
The Negatives
They are still over priced.
I can find better deals from an assortment of vendors online, even after shipping costs are added and without taking into consideration sales tax. $2 here, $4 and $7 there might not be much, but when I go shopping, I have a list of items and said list can have 20+ items so in the end that amounts to a significant amount (more than a range outing cost for sure). I would like to support local shops but they must be reasonable for me to do so.
They are still lacking variety.
They still lacked the variety that I was hoping for and needed. Considering they expanded their store size significantly, I was hoping that the selection of items would also have expanded, but for my lists (comprised of my commonly used and bought items) they still are lacking far behind. Maybe it will serve others better, but for me I will not plan another venture there until the second or third week in December (so as to give them time to possibly stock up on items and have items priced reasonably.
Hope this helps
