The Academy Sporting Store in Kannapolis NC will open March 8th. It is located in the same shopping center as WalMart. going south on I-85 Take exit 60 off of I-85 and cross Dale Earnhardt Blvd. Into the shopping center turn right at the first stop light after crossing Dale Earnhardt and it will be right in front of you. Going north take exit 60 off I-85 and turn left on to Dale Earnhardt go to the first stoplight and turn left into the shopping center then turn right at the first stoplight and it's right in front of you.
The guys on the SC crappie.com say that it is as good or better than Bass Pro. I sure hope so it is a lot closer to Kannapoli than Charlotte for me.
