Gander Mountain Going Out of Business - NATIONWIDE

[27hand]

Once the store closes the "liquidators" step in. That's when the real discounts will happen. Does anybody know if they will also sell the firearms?

Not sure but there were only about 20 handguns left .
I thought the store was closing today. Salesgirl said about fine 10. Maybe I'll go back and get 2 more clothes racks to use as target holders or birdfeeder supports.

I picked up 4 boxes of Winchester BRI Sabots at 30% off

I stopped in Monroeville today. Still a ton of merchandise. (go figure)

The up to 40% OFF signs are up, but shooting accessories are still only 10% off - shoes only 20%, clothes 20-30%.
Plenty of firearms still on the rack. Plenty of ammo (no discount) except 22LL which is the only ammo they carry that isn't highly inflated. All the good priced 22 is gone.

I took some pics of some clothes that I'm going to look up online to see if it's actually a deal before going back.

I don't know about the claims of inflating prices before offering a discount - all the prices I've seen are all still the original prices that were on the shelf. That may change though at any time, but as it is right now, I haven't seen that tactic.

They dragged the other area store closings out for months and months, so I don't expect them to be in a hurry to increase the discounts any time soon.

Stopped in Friday in York, looking mainly for camping deals. Bought nothing.

10% off everything still, except clothes were 20%. 5% on firearms, no discount on ammo.

all of their camping items are still over priced, you can buy the same items at walmart for roughly half their sale price...10% off all firearms which now with the discount are actually at normal market prices...

I read a news article within the last week where the CEO of Camping World or whoever bought had several tweets stating not all stores are closing. They did sell the existing merchandise to liquidators, but they plan on restocking the stores they plan on keeping open. I cant find the link now, but some stores will remain open. It did say they may change the name

Liquidators are using and abusing the stores and staff selling non gander mountain product from other liquidations.

When I was there, I saw a sign that said something about "non-gander mountain merchandise" now included in discounted items.

I didn't know what it meant. Now I do.

Email I got today:

I'm curious about your prices...Gander has always been over priced. How will your new stores compare?

I heard this Lemonis guy has a history of being anti-hunting.
