They may suck, but at least they're not Dick's.
THAT'S what sucks about them closing.

Camping World, Inc. Wins Gander Mtn.
At Bankruptcy Auction
The nation’s largest RV service center and dealer now owns one of America’s biggest outdoor retail networks.
Last week, Illinois-based Camping World, Inc. won a bankruptcy auction for St. Paul-based Gander Mountain, Inc. for a reported $390 million, according to the Star Tribune.
Gander Mountain, which has 162 locations across the country, filed for bankruptcy in March and said it would close 32 stores. Sources close to the dealings who asked to remain anonymous told the Star Tribune that Camping World planned to continue operating, and assume the leases of at least 17 Gander Mountain stores with options to keep the others open based on profitability.
Marcus Lemonis, Chairman and CEO of Camping World, told the Wall Street Journal it’s likely at least half of Gander’s 160 stores won’t survive.

I remember when it was just catalog sales. I still have a set of waist high waders I bought from the catalog in the 90's. I was wearing them the other day fishin'. I bought a lot of my duck decoys from them too. They're all gone now too. Life marches on.
I honestly never thought the prices were all that bad, at least 8-10 years ago. IMO Dunhams has the highest prices of any chain that I have seen.
After reading the article linked in EM's post I wish Sportsman's Warehouse, the second place bidder, had won!
Bye Felicia.
