Not sure if this was posted in another thread but here's the news!

Sportsman’s Warehouse among new tenants at Brownsburg retail center - Indianapolis Business Journal

A trio of "junior anchor" stores will join a recently opened Kroger at the renovated Brownsburg Square retail center, where a Kmart closed in 2017.

It has also been said to be a Tractor Supply or a Michael’s . I think it might be another starbucks

There is a big "Michael's" sign out in front. I'm not sure if it will be a sportsman's but that's the chatter....maybe an old rumor starting up again?

I'm reading it'll be Michael's, Five Below and Sportsman's Warehouse

We have one here, Big Selection, Big Prices. Bass Pro was going to buy them but the Deal went South.

Sportsman's is coming to Brownsburg but in current workplace I think they will struggle to find employees considering the pay they offer.

I'm retired, maybe I can kill sometime there? And get paid some peanuts?

That's what I'm doing. Discounts are pretty good and the people in charge (locally) are great to work for. Just take it for what it is and don't expect too much.

These superstores clearly see central Indiana as a prime area to make profits. In another thread, I heard Academy Sports was going to open a store as well.
What is the current big box competition now ? Cabelas/Bass Pro and Range ?
Glad to see more options moving in around here.

We need some competition for Cabelas in Noblesville for sure. A prime spot would be the old Marsh store on 116th Street in Carmel.

That would be a great spot.

Wife and I stopped into the Brownsburg store. Picked up a few fly fishing flies and a new can of pepper spray for her. At checkout they asked for my identification. I asked why and they said it is company policy if you buy dangerous weapons. They further said that prohibits Illinois residents from buying illegal products.

Pepper spray is not prohibited in Illinois. They also wanted to copy the information from my Indiana DL into the computer. I explained that I was from Indiana and showed them my DL, but would not hand it to him. The sale was refused.

In a world where personal information is shared and stolen indiscriminately, I simply refused to give my personal identification to buy an unregulated item. I won't be back. Horrible company policy.

That store is a proposed Harvest Market Grocery.... I’ve seen the preliminary drawings.

Thanks for the heads-up. Sounds like a store to scratch off my list.

I too work in IT. I know that 110% of the info on the front is embedded in the barcode. (there is a little more as I recall) I dont care if they SAY they arent storing it, they aint scanning it. The only* reason to FORCE the scan is to have the ability to capture that demographic info. You know why smart TVs are so expensive? The data they capture and send back about your habits with the device. The president of Vizio actually said the quiet part out loud. "We make so much money off selling your info, if we stopped we would have to increase the price of each TV by at least $200." (paraphrased) So tell me thats not what some of these stores are trying to do.

Unless it is for .gov interaction (voting, traffic stop, etc) you dont scan my ID. Period. Look at it. Type in the DOB, (or state as they claimed here) complete the transaction.

*They will say its to guarantee employees are putting the correct, truthful info into the system. So hire better staff. Your lack of trust is not my problem.
