Gander Mountain Going Out of Business - NATIONWIDE

[Carnes]

A couple weeks ago I had stopped in at the GM in Johnstown - the only deals to be had were on some shotgun shells. "Sales" prices were still higher then the Mom & Pop shops I frequent.

Well, isn't that what you would expect in a big metropolitan area like Johnstown? Ha!

I put GM and CW on my no-fly list.

Do you think this will put Dick's out of business?

[God's Country]

Not that I found GM to be worth a shit, but after the CEO trashed Trump voters, he can eat shit.

Is this the new CEO or old?

The pricing (especially) and customer service will have to be MUCH improved for me to pull out my wallet and get over the comments made about Trump voters by the Camping World / Gander Outdoors CEO.

CW sucks anyway. Their prices are high, and there isn't anything they sell that cannot be had elsewhere. Same with GM. Not to mention CW is more in the business of gathering and selling consumer information then selling camping equipment.

They've been constructing the new store front on the Dickson City store. Personally, I'm looking forward to having them open back up. Right now the only other option around here is Field and Stream (Dicks) and, aside from the "F@*# Dicks" campaign, their outdoor gear is either poorly designed and manufactured crap or extremely overpriced outdoor clothing. There is no middle ground. The only other option is to make a day trip to Cabelas and I'm not going to do that if I only need an item that will cost less than the gas to drive there.

Gander at least provides an option. We'll have to see what they have to offer.
