After that they moved up Rte 100 and I guess you could call it North Coventry and then it moved to its present location so that store has had it's ups and downs over the years. I don't know if it's the same owner as the original store I used to go to around the opening day of trout season but I hope they can hang in there. The complainers always crack me up because they most likely have the same problems in every store they visit.
    I don't have the same problems at any other store, but thanks for trying.

    Other than Brian, I long ago lost any reason to darken their doors...bad prices and crappy range. Brian sponsored me at Kimberton F&G about 25 years ago and I shoot outdoors at least 45-50 weekends a year.
    I've heard 3 possibles for FCO:
    1. Closing (I don't care).
    2. Choking-up to just guns (I still don't care).
    3. Getting bought out by Tanners (I don't really care but might be worth one visit).
    We shall see......

    If they get bought by Tanner's I'll have to file for bankruptcy.

    Exactly. The reason I don't buy more from Tanner's is because they're an hour away, not 15 mins like FC. I only stop by when I'm in the area, which isn't very often, but I could go to Phoenixville everyday.

    According to a couple of workers at FCO, they will be closing in February. They had a buyer for the place but the owner of the property doesn't want any changes made to the building. They believe that the owner is being difficult to everyone who has a shop there so they move out, with plans of knocking the whole place down and build condos/townhomes.

    Interesting. That strip center has a decent amount of tenants. I wonder how their leases read.

    Wouldnt doubt it, that whole place is now surrounded by condos and new housing.
    I do appreciate an indoor range for the really crappy days, shame to potentially lose that.
