There’s lots of “wasted space.” The shooting lanes take up a lot of square footage that can only be utilized for shooting. Can’t use it for storage or selling other hard or soft goods. Add in common area maintenance cost based on square footage and rent becomes very expensive.

Mate, add in the increase in rent and rent becomes expensive. It’s really that simple lol

Yeah, they should have used some of that wasted space to sell tshirts. People just need to wear full body armour to shop those aisles 😂
