Afternoon to you all.
Perth now has 2 Ray's Outdoors stores that opened this week. Visited the Cannington one this morning, good concept from what I could see. Question is how do they compare price wise (overall), compared with the other National stores; being Annaconda, &
BCF?

Keep in mind who you are supporting when going the the NATIONAL Brands.
BCF is owned by Super Cheap Auto. Ananconda is originally from canada I believe
Rangers are owned and run by locals , so I always support them, we cant let the country be run by national businesses, besides I find rangers and other smaller ones have a better range and better service.

We have a small retail surfshop ourslves, and know full
well the impact of the Nationals, as they dictate prices from suppliers, also dont utilise the distributors. But yes you are right competition is good, and I think the smaller stores (Rangers etc.) have improved their range and have good people who know what camping etc. is really about.
BCF staff have reduced and whilst they may know a bot about the product, they wouldnt know to use it

Anaconda is actually owned by Spotlight.
I would suggest becoming an Anaconda Club member which doesn't cost you anything. Also become a Ray's member which also doesn't cost you anything.
Anaconda members receive both emails and catalogues in the post and Ray's can send you emails about promotions coming up.
Discounts :-
Ray's - Usually 6.5% - 7.50% however, they do have their 26.5% sales which are great.
Anaconda sales discounts range from 10% up to 50 and even 60% off.
Duncan, give yourself some options and you can ten consider where best to spend your hard earned.
Cheers.

Paul I've been a member of both Anaconda &
BCF since they opened in
Perth. No doubt will become a member of Ray's in the not to distant future.
