Hope not !

Riley's has been a fixture in Hooksett for many years ! Would hate to see them be another victim of big business.

Time will tell........
I doubt it. If anyone has anything to worry about it'd be shooter's outpost because they have far more overhead and haven't been around long. You're right time will tell, if they are able to establish the kind of volume, especially in the used market on par with what Kittery does, yeah Riley's, shooters outpost and even Lewis may be in trouble long term.

On new stuff, the mark up is pretty much the same no matter where you go, all the money is made on trade ins.
