Sportsman’s to honor gift cards through March 31

Sportsman’s Warehouse stores in Spokane Valley and Coeur d’Alene will be honoring gift cards customers obtained prior to the recent sale of the stores through March 31. Fifteen stores recently were acquired by UFA Cooperative based in Calgary, putting the previously issued Sportsman’s Warehouse gift cards on hold. Natalie Dawes, UFA Cooperative spokeswoman, said Friday the resolution enables customers to use their cards through the month. “After that, the cards will still be redeemable, but only at Sportsman’s Wareshouse stores still owned by the original company,” she said, noting that the closest of those stores to the Spokane area are in Billings, Mont., and Medford, Ore.
