I had a similar issue with Dick's Sporting Goods. They had a shotgun I wanted, for $200 off the normal price. I stopped by the local Dick's, just in time to catch the only one they had in stock being sold.
They re-ran the special the next week, I drove up to Chicago and visited two Dick's, both were out of stock. I went to a Gander Mountain with the ad to try to get them to price-match. They called Dick's...they told me that they had a policy that they would only price match items in-stock at the competing store. Seems Dick's has a habit of shipping ONE item to each store then putting it on special at some super-duper price.
This particular special continued to run for another six weeks. I continued to stop in the local Dick's to see if they ever got another one of those shotguns. They never did.

That is one store that was named PERFECTLY!
Dick's is a golf equipment/wigger clothing store and nothing else. Gander Mt., on the other hand, has shown an interest in stocking exactly what local consumers want to see. The Gander near my house got the hint about nobody wanting junk Flambeu decoys and switched to a large selection of Greenhead Gear at the suggestion of several locals. Now they can't stock enough in season!
They also carry a much better selection of firearms including lots of lovely Beretta and Benelli bird guns.
