Massive camp equipment like cast iron wood stoves, and 36" skillets.
I've also seen a major change since they opened the MI store. They've turned into pure Big Box. Once roomy isles are now jammed with merchandise. Junk is their biggest seller (pop guns, cheapo bags, hats, etc) I imagine they do well with guns too.
When I tried to hit them up for a worthy conservation donation, I got the run around. I was directed to corporate headquarters, and they indicated that they MIGHT consider us in future years for a $25 gift certificate. The fundraiser is put on by a large fly fishing club in the area, and proceeds go to 3 great 501c-3 organizations. Every small fly shop and many individual guides in the area unhesitatingly handed over $100-600 worth of merchandise or services. Guess where I take my business, and urge our 100+ club members to take their business....
That said, they do have some good values in fishing equipment. This is equipment they have built for them by good rod and clothing manufacturers. Mostly, I find their things very fully priced.
And that beautiful store has lost it's lustre with all of the merchandise crammed in.
