Spotted at Dick's In Cranberry

[streaker69]

So you're saying there's Spotted Dick in Cranberry?

I have some British friends who love Spotted Dick. We pretty much stopped talking after "the shooting."

I would not buy a baseball from Dick's let alone anything gun related.

Let them eat Spotted Dick!

Haven't been to Dick's in ages, but I clearly missed something! What did Dick's do (or not do)?

To sum it up, they (Dicks) made a deal with Troy Industries to sell a certain AR of theirs. This was Pre-Newtown mind you. Troy invested a boat load of $$ to ramp up production and meet Dicks demands. Cool right. Pretty good qaulity AR's at your local SGS.

FF, post-Newtown, Dicks caves like a bunch of sissies and removes ALL AR's from its shelves. Not only that but, the way they went about ending the deal with Troy was very shady. Not to mention, cancelling peoples orders and not filling ones that were placed.

Google it, its all over the place.

Troy Defense (Troy), a division a Troy Industries, Inc., was deeply dismayed and shocked to hear through national media outlets that Dick’s Sporting Goods (DSG) made the decision to stop selling the Troy Carbine along with other modern sporting rifles. DSG did not contact or inform Troy of this decision prior to notifying the public. Nor was Troy informed by DSG that cancellation letters were being sent to customers, set to arrive on Christmas Eve (a day Troy was closed).

Troy has invested millions of dollars in its facility and operations to bring its first ever modern sporting rifle to the market under an exclusive contract with DSG. In selecting DSG as the sole distributor of the Troy Carbine, Troy relied on DSG’s high sales forecasts and sales potential prior to undertaking the significant financial and corporate commitment necessary to design, develop, manufacture and bring a new modern sporting rifle to the marketplace. Based on DSG’s press release, DSG’s anti-gun stance is clear – DSG will not continue modern sporting rifle sales and Troy will sadly not see its Carbine readily available — despite the outlay of millions of dollars by Troy and its commitment to support DSG in its distribution efforts.

Troy is currently researching other channels to ensure continuous and consistent distribution for its rifles. But please note, Troy’s pricing to DSG was based upon volume sales. It is unlikely that pricing to any other outlet in the future will support the pricing granted to DSG. Troy understands the anger of certain DSG customers whose purchases have been cancelled – you got a great price from DSG. However, Troy, itself, cannot come anywhere close to offering the Carbine at the price DSG was offering it. DSG devalued and diluted Troy’s brand when it offered for sale the Carbine at a steeply discounted price during Thanksgiving week. As a result of the sale price set by DSG, DSG oversold and overpromised its inventory. Nonetheless, the current ill-will could have been avoided had DSG not terminated modern sporting rifle sales, promptly canceled overpromised orders, and forthrightly communicated with Troy.

Troy is hopeful that it will soon identify a new distribution channel for its Carbine. We ask for your patience and support during this difficult and transitory time.
