It must be true. I drove by the place three times to be sure I was not imagining it. At 380 and 75, in the old Pied Piper Pizza parlor. Sign is up but looks like the remodeling has a long way to go.

Finally some good news I can use!

Man, there is a Walmart and Sport Accademy at the same corner And Sport Authority is just at 121 and 75 (few miles down the road) 4 miles south there is Dick's Sports and Cabelas would open by next Spring!

Another place to put in a job application.

Yes, they are opening a McKinney location. Their guys told me that when they held their job fair at the Fort Worth gun show a few months ago. They don't actually own the current store. They used to, but when they made the decision to become a strictly (at that time) catalog business, they sold the store to the manager at the time. Part of that sale apparently included a contractual obligation to the buyer on the part of CTD not to open any future CTD stores within a 50 mile radius of the existing Fort Worth store. The McKinney location is just outside that 50 mile radius.

If I remember correctly, they are actually opening 5 new stores, although I can't remember the other locations.

All I can say is..........

I'm excited! I spend a LOT of money with CTD through their website, and now I will have another shopping option for ammo and supplies. I try to support the McKinney Gun and Knife Supply company (also in that general area, on the other side of 75) but their store is small and stock is limited. I would MUCH rather support a store like CTD than a big chain like Academy or Walmart.

I live literally a mile away from the new location...I can't wait until they open!

Same thing with me Mojo. I live about a mile and half. So, I would say we live within a mile of each other. Hope to see ya in there!

This is great news!

My understanding is that the online store and the physical brick and mortar stores are two different businesses.

I must have missed the sign.
I drove by there a couple weeks ago when i first head about this on another forum and didnt see anything suggesting CTD was comming to town.

Its even got it's own "anti" fanpage on facebook. http://www.facebook.com/pages/McKinney- ... 9936822095" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Are those antis really serious? there is Academy (selling everything) Walmarts and Sport Authority all selling firearms (but no handguns). cabelas is coming to Allen next year selling everything.

I think they are serious, but lets take a look at the statistical side of the issue shall we. There are 21 anti's who are fans of the page, in a city with an estimated population of 127,671. So statistically speaking they make up 0.016% of the population, thats kinda funny.

Just read the McKinney's city official response referring to the big boxes I mentioned and other stand alone gun storein the city. Going against this new place is silly.

They're all women too, from what I can see. I'm almost tempted to "Like" the page just so I can make fun of them and write pro-gun stuff on their Wall.
