Just saw Barlows is closing down their retail business and going online only. Said this Saturday they’re having a closing sale, with up to 50% off. Sounds like they’re selling everything including shelving and displays. Good time to pick up some rod racks.

saw the same add. CASH only.

When does this start?
Is the in-store sale going on now?

Got my answers off Facebook.
Sale Sat. 12 to 4.
Nothing from the back; so they want last long.

Their Facebook page states the below.

Lots of good memories of my dad taking me to Barlow’s.

Loved the bulk worm bar 😀😀

Remember talking to Barry Stokes there great times.

Before BPS/Academy they were it. They had the pros out each spring for a big spring deal. Speakers and everything.
Great times and near "home". Met Bill Dance and Larry Nixon there one year.............gonna miss it.

Covid was a good opportunity for them to kill the walk in business that was more than likely a liability.

Hopefully the employees that supported the retail side got to keep their jobs.

loved that place growing up, hate to see it go

I met Bill Dance there back in the early 80s when they had their place on the other side of the highway.

Lots of good memories.

They still have their jobs. All of the store guys worked the back end too. We have actually been so busy since Covid started that we hired more people.

Late 70's- early80's I would drive from Irving every spring to buy spinner baits. They would make them up while I bought more worms than I really needed. Great memories.

This is true. We are basically selling everything in our store that we do not have listed on our website.
We will not be selling anything from the website and will not be filling orders.

Here is a list of some of the items we will be selling on Saturday.

Rods...including Surf rods, some fly rods, G Loomis rods, and we have a few Bonehead Crappie Spinning rods.
Some Spinning Reels including some surf rod reels.
Tackle Boxes and Fly Boxes
Shirts and caps
Lead weights and sinkers, hooks and bobbers

Sad to see it go. Worked not from there and spent many lunch hours there. Just ask my pocket book.
