The target demographic lies a bit further afield. The cost for the square footage their stores demand is also probably not viable for them (in terms of overall in-store profit) anywhere near the city. It would be cool though. Even though I'm not an avid hunter/camper/outdoorsman, I love walking around and imagining what I would/could do if I were.... or what I would do in the face of a zombie outbreak.poo poonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-9340842993153345882016-10-24T00:25:09.841-04:002016-10-24T00:25:09.841-04:00REI is great news for DC.
