The Gunsmoke Shop Trading Post in Rotterdam, New York

Eric and I have been away for nearly a year.  We notice changes when we return.  Stores close, new businesses enter the area.  One of these changes is down the road from Rotterdam Square Mall.  A small strip mall has been built at the site of the former Main Florist.

Gunsmoke Trading Post.

Is this a convenience store?

If this is a convenience store,

The stuffed animals are

Gunsmoke Trading Post

has a nice selection of

Gunsmoke Trading Post reminds me of Cabela's shooting and archery departments.  In addition to the store's wide selection of firearms and compound bows there's ample 

sporting gear for the sportsman and sportswoman to purchase.
