    Going to Grizzly superstore in Springfield MO, what should I not miss

    As the title says I'm making the 5 hour one way trip to go to the Grizzly superstore in Springfield Mo tomorrow with a buddy. I've never been, so I was hoping those that had could give me a heads up on what not to miss


    Thanks Loren

    Don't leave your billfold, or all it's contents, there when you leave!!
    I'd love to go myself sometime. I'd say wear comfortable sneakers and clothes and have a blast! Maybe take your camera to document the items you would like for yourself, and items that are new or really neat to share with the rest of us!!! Jim.

    If I were you, I'd bring a trailer.

    Hey Loren,
    It's a big place. One huge open toy store.

    You think I could wedge a GO636XB 17" bandsaw in the back of my buddies Honda Ridgeline? Actually its cheaper to pay to have it shipped than it is to pay the sales tax and pick it up in person.

    The biggest advice that I could give you is to allocate plenty of time inside the store. It does not take long to go into "overload" with respect to everything to see.

    +1 on the recommendation to stop by Bass Pro Shops too!

    Check out Lambert's cafe as well, GREAT food and lots of it. There is an hour wait usually but there is a wine/cheese store next door you can pass the time in

  10. The best advice i can offer by far is......if you walk into a bar called the Midnight Rodeo......stay the heck away from the mechanical bull.....i still hate that stupid bull

    If that's the Lambert's in Sikeston, isn't that a bit out of the way?

    That's good to know. I'm going to be traveling through there in a few days. Last time I went to Lambert's in Sikeston, I forgot to duck and got nailed!
