Columbia Place Mall

[sonofaque86]

Burlington Coat Factory - It's almost simpler to hang a sign on the mall that siys "we are dying and ghetto" than to let these guys in. It'll be a quick and easy space-filler, but at what cost to the mall's reputation?

I guess I'm ghetto because Burlington Coat Factory has good priced things

Why cant Columbia have their own store instead of having to drive everywhere? This goes for any store not just Bass....

Agreed. Columbians shouldn't have to drive all the way to Concord to shop there.

Maybe you're right, Temeteron. Every city should have its own Bass Pro Shops, maybe two. Never mind that specialized stores like that need a certain amount of regional traffic to succeed...

Agreed. Columbians shouldn't have to drive all the way to Concord to shop there.

Maybe there's enough traffic, but it's risky business to place the stores too close together.

The do have good prices, but you won't see Burlington Coat Factory in prime retail space, to be sure. Edited July 24, 2006 by StevenRocks

True, but seriously, is there anything at Bass Pro Shops you can't get at Dick's or some other store in Columbia?

[krazeeboi]

I don't know, I don't shop at either.

I hear ya; BPS is about the last store you would find me in.

[xyhamiltonboi]

Would anyone be interested in coming to Columbia for a tour of Columbia Place and other malls?

I'm with y'all...can't imagine EVER having the need for Bass Pro Shop...but, I do have a good buddy that's all into fishing. He even fishes tournaments. He has to drive to Charlotte occasionally just for this store. He can't get everything he needs at Dick's. So, for him and guys like him, I'd like to see a BPS here.

[Spartan]

I think every decent sized city needs a BPS.

[Temeteron]

You would think as many fishin' people we have in Columbia they would have one! Lake Murray Lake Wateree....etc....oh wait....what was i thinking.....they much rather have 8 Wal-marts instead!

Tem, how many cities do you live in?

As many as you can imagine

There is some type of sportsman superstore going up on I-26 N. The Land Rover Dealership is on the other side of the Interstate, for reference purposes.

Coming 2007 Two new tenants to the former JCPenney space. The space will be leased vs. owned prior by tenants.

WHO are they?

[krazeeboi]

I think Bass Pro Shops would be an interesting addition to Columbia Place although they serve a demographic that doesn't really use Columbia Place. It would be their first store in Columbia, however, so it micht bring some added activity to Columbia Place. It wouldn't get me to the mall any more than I already go. Macy's is about the only reason I go to Columbia Place.

It's not Bass Pro, and it's not Columbia Place Mall, but good news anyway. A blurb from The State:

The Utah-based Sportsman

And who said Columbia didn't get the first in retail in SC? I know it isn't exactly Nordstrom, but it's still good for Columbia.

When is it supposed to open? I ask because Spartanburg is getting a Sportsman's Warehouse too, and I remember reading that ours and Columbia's were the first two in the state. I was not clear on which would open first.

[krazeeboi]

From the way the article was written, it seems as though it's already open. Maybe a resident can shed some light?

I was in Columbia and stopped by the new sportsman for the opening, they have a nice selection. It's a good addition to the outdoor sporting goods market.

OK, let the cat out of the bag. Anything good?
