Lebaron Ottawa mass restructuring (i.e.closing)

[Hunter John]

30 to 50% off except guns and ammo.

[Fox]

30 to 50% off except guns and ammo.

So still 10% off anything worthwhile.

[mattadam]

20% for firearms. 10% on ammo and reloading components and then 30-50% on most other stuff.

At "30% off" they had a sportsman stool for only $2 less than SAIL's regular price.

IMO, even during their close-out, it's pretty much not worth the gas & time to check LeBaron's out.

I agree. I took my time and walked the store looking at everything. Now I know why they went bust. The assortment is pathetic in there compared to the box stores everybody loves to complain about.

There has been a lot of "raise the sticker price, then say X% off", so there are very few true deals. When I went though I was able to find a couple of real deals, and that was only because I knew the current price that some of the other places were charging for the same items.

I didn't see much in the way of price raising. I bought a shimano tekota 300LC for $185 taxes in and a shimano TR200 for $88 taxes in. Your not going to do much better than that anywhere, even Amazon when they go on sale comes in at a higher price.

Yes the store was old school, lacked a computer inventory system. The staff in Ottawa were good to deal with. I did purchase at the store 2 weeks ago, lures 20% off. They are the only store that I ever found Bomber long A's in brilliant orange, bought 4. Never found at Sail, Bass Pro, etc.
They will never reopen, Continental Auctioneers is not conducting the sale on behalf of the owners. I worked in insolvency, there will be nothing left to open with, only store leases with no inventory.
We should really feel sorry for the staff that stuck it out to the bitter end, 2 weeks after Cabela's open in Ottawa they are insolvent, all the staff might have found a job at the competition.
I bought a flat of 3 inch shells for goose hunting prior to the insolvency, could not get them at a better price that I was aware of.
I bought my fish finder there in the Spring Humminbird Helix 7, was not cheaper at the other stores, and for $28.00 I got a further 10% off the price and everything else I bought. My discount card is good till next spring, memorabilia from a business that was the only game in town, Canadian, etc. Sorry to see it go.

Has anyone who has been to the store in the last few weeks noticed any decent prices on climbing tree stands?

Their website was the worst i ever experienced....So hard to navigate no rhyme or reason to the way they had it laid out.... i guess they panicked when they heard bass pro did come to town after all....Its just called Cabelas now! Its hard to compete with stores that have excellent customer service....I ordered a bow quiver from bass pro shops it was being delivered to me in Labrador via ground mail....I ordered it well in advance to get it for a caribou hunt....It never showed up because Canpar didn't deliver ground mail to labrador so they denied shipment in Stjohns NF....I got a call from bass pro asking what was wrong with the quiver....I explained they shipped it threw canpar and my hunt will be no longer be happening....They said "WE will send the quiver over night delivery threw UPS." They went on to say "They will refund the cost of the quiver back to my visa" And i will get quiver free of charge....Next day i got my quiver and I never paid a dime
