The company has low overhead, quick turn around, & few stores that are always having incrediable sales. As a matter a fact, the store I visited last week, was hiring. like the Motley Fools always say's, " pick what you know ".

Good prices and selection for the size of the stores. They seem to lease less expensive space and stock it well, closer to neighborhoods for quick runs or on the way to the game, mountains, camping without the long lines of the big box sporting goods retailers.

Solid Managed Company. Did well over 06 Xmas I think. Target should be about 29-30 due to earnings hitting about $2 with a 15 PE in 2007. A keeper beyond one year as long as they keep current exec management.
