ABC123 Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 kb here was looking for a couple avid 6' 6" med fast tip baitcasting rods so i went to reeds outfitters and they said that gander mt has bought out reeds out fitters you guys probley allready know about this every one but me kb Are you talking about Reed's sporting goods in MN and online??? If so, then that's not true. Gander bought their new Brainerd/Baxter store, not the company. Doors closed on the Brainerd store on Labor day. I lost a little respect for Reed's over that deal. It does reaffirm my standing on NEVER spending one penny in a Gander mtn or Holiday gas station. "Gander Mountain Company, the nation's largest retail network of stores for hunting, fishing, camping, boating, marine, and outdoor lifestyle products and services, along with Reeds Family Outdoor Outfitters, a well known regional outdoor retailer based in Walker, Minnesota, announced today that Gander Mountain will acquire the inventory and certain assets of the Reeds Outdoor Super Store located in Baxter, Minnesota. The closing of the transaction is expected to occur in September 2007. As a part of the agreement, Reeds will no longer have a presence in Baxter, but will continue to operate its store in Walker, Minnesota, its on-line store, catalog businesses and other retail locations in the future. "Gander Mountain opened our Baxter store in 2005, and while we have been pleased with the business, we believe the Brainerd Lakes area could be better served by one store with the quantity and quality of service and inventory that our store and the Reeds store are both offering," said Mark Baker, Gander Mountain president and CEO. "It makes sense for both companies and will be good for outdoor enthusiasts. We have great respect for Reeds as good competitors and we wish the Arnold family all the best in Walker and wherever they do business in the future." Between now and September, Reeds and Gander Mountain will continue customary daily operations in their respective Baxter locations. Gander Mountain and Reeds will integrate the Reeds Baxter store inventory into Gander Mountain's Baxter store. It is expected that some current Reeds Baxter staff will be employed by Gander Mountain as a part of the transition. Reeds will move some staff members to its Walker store. "Everyone connected with Reeds is very grateful to all of our customers, staff, friends, businesses, and to the communities in the Brainerd Lakes area," said Adam Arnold, Reeds president. "Reeds Baxter store performed very well over the years with continuous sales growth year after year and it gained great success by establishing a strong, loyal following of friends and customers with great service and customer care. We look forward to continuing to serve customers and friends in our Walker store and on-line." Quote
Super User FishTank Posted September 8, 2007 Super User Posted September 8, 2007 I went to my local Gander Mountain and asked if the Avid rods where clearenced like they are at Dicks. The salesmen replied with and an emphatic, "No, they are not on sale". They were loaded to the hills with Avid rods. If you have seen the St. Croix racks, I think they hold 40 rods front and back. They had 4 of these filled with just Avids. They said that they had arived about 2 weeks ago. I will keep my eyes open to see when they will decide to put them on sale. Quote
