Super User Scott F Posted May 6, 2017 Super User Posted May 6, 2017 Gander was purchased by Camping World http://www.outdoorlife.com/camping-world-buys-out-gander-mountain 1 Quote
HeavyTwenty Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Just checked out my local Gander, discounts were only 10% for most fishing stuff. I was told they'll probably increase to max 30% around August. Quote

Not sure how that works, but here's a link to a list of stores staying open. https://mobile.twitter.com/GanderMtn Not according to this new article. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article149059559.html Quote Under the latest move, the company said on its website that all 126 stores will close, including locations in Gastonia and Monroe. It wasn’t immediately clear when that would happen. 2 Quote

The only thing everyone agreed on was that camping world bought out gander mountain on Friday (who filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy) and somewhere between 50% and 100% of the stores are closing. My local gander already has a sign advertising closing sales, and that store is listed as on of the stores staying open on twitter, so I suspect that may not be an accurate list. Quote
RichF Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 The emails I got the last couple days say ALL stores closing. Check the online site. It says the same thing. Went to one in Winchester VA yesterday. Got a gallon of Lucas 2-stroke oil for 20% off. Rods and reels are only 10% off, tackle is 15% off, and marine goods are 20% off. Quote
Kris2016 Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 I imagine the Salisbury, MD store will stay open. It seems to be busier that most of the other GM stores I have visited. The closest one to me, York, PA, looks to be staying open above. Quote

At the very least, every single location is liquidating inventory. Imprecise language has created a ton of conflicting stories. Check the news that is featuring Marcus Lemonis' twitter. Lemonis' claims that many stores will remain open is firsthand news from ownership - for the time being, can't trust anything over that in my opinion. Quote
Bent Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Also should mention, the most recent email I got (this morning) was titled "Liquidation prices! Preparing for the new Gander Mountain." Quote

All our clothing was at least 100% markup. wonder if I worked at the same one.... did it go out of business last year, by any chance? nike and under armor were the real reason it died....we sold our collective souls to them.

MichiganBass80 Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 They are all liquidating due to the bankruptcy. Not all stores are closing. Ours is one that will remain open. Quote

One near me sold everything even the mounts ha Are you talking about the Chambersburg one? The Sportsmans Liquidators close so if GM goes I may not have any reason to cross into PA. Allen Quote
gall Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Sorry I meant the York bur the email. I got it sounds like all of them are shutting down and I miss Sportsman liquidators so much Quote
Dave A Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 I went to the Portage, Mi store yesterday. It is closing. most fishing stuff is 10-15% off right now. Quote
reerok Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 The website says "Gift Cards accepted until 5/18". Is that May 18 of this year? Or is that May of 2018? Quote
5fishlimit Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 According the rather large graphic when you first go to their site it states all of their stores are closing. Quote

I called my local Gander and they couldn't tell me whether they were staying open or not, but did mention that there is a big "Going Out of Business" banner across the front entrance. This location literally just opened 8 months ago. I don't know what could possibly go into that building.. a pretty unique structure, like when mom and pop shops move their store into defunct pizza huts. Quote

This is just a restructuring of the company by the new owners, Camping World. They purchased basically everything except the inventory. The inventory was bought by a liquidation company, this is their sale, not Ganders. Liquidation will run until a certain date (I have heard end of August) or until inventory runs out. The stores will then close and the stores that "make the cut" will eventually reopen with new inventory, same type of selection. So yes technically all of the stores are closing, but some will be reopened. 1 Quote
jakebrake Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 ^^^^ you must live close to me....I know 2 former sports auth people that landed there...total gut punch for them. I get the feeling that one will stay open. Quote

Update....5 in pa to remain open....Warrington didn't make the cut. Quote
