I wish that were the case Jeff... [smile]
There are no Farm & Fleet stores in Minnesota, the closest one is 80 miles away in Rice Lake Wisconsin. There are a total of 16 of them in Wisconsin. [eek]
[member=75217]squall_line[/member] may be interested though...there are 5 of them in Iowa. [scratch chin]
I saw a 500 Domino, 1400 router, a 420 carvex and a few sanders. I know the 1400 is only going to be found in the stores as the floor models are not counted for online sales.
I believe the Domino was 1019.00 for the Q set, not a huge saving but anything is better than nothing.

All 5 of them are between 50 and 75 minutes away, and as luck would have it I'm only on day 19 of 42-ish without a day off. Busy time of year, though I'm not opposed to a small road trip and I'm sure my wife wouldn't mind me taking at least one of the kids out of the house for a while.
I always got Farm & Fleet mixed up with Theisen's, for some reason. I think one of our Theisen's used to be a Farm & Fleet back in the day, maybe that's why? Same color scheme, too.
I'm surprised Fleet Farm and Farm & Fleet are allowed to coexist with such similar names, but alas...

There are a few of them around here, one less than 5 miles away. They don't carry Festool there though.

Are you in Columbus OH area? The last Farm and Fleet I remember was in Circleville OH and that one closed over 20 years ago. It was just "Farm and Fleet", I do not know if that is the same as "Blain's Farm and Fleet" which was the Festool distributor.

Yes [member=72457]Yardbird[/member] Columbus, but it turns out I was mixing things up. I was thinking of a Tractor Supply (TSC)
It's been many years since I have been in a Farm & Fleet store.
As far as I know, the Circleville Farm & Fleet is gone and has been a long time, but they have a variant down that way somewhere called Rural-King. I have never been in one though.

They are doing that because they are dropping the brand. Festool would cut them off for discounting, but if they don't care, it doesn't matter. This is also why they won't take special orders. They are just clearing out the stock-on-hand.
No Farm and Fleets here, but with Recon only being 5% cheaper, I would rather pay an extra 5% for 2 years more warranty and knowing it was a new item. I have purchased a lot from Recon and most have been quite good. But I still remember that Midi I purchased and the wheels were locked up with drywall mud. There was another problem with the Midi that allowed me to return it, but you never know how badly it had been abused.
