They had nice camo gear though. So much for the "lifetime" warranty.

My local GM has their going out of business sign up and signs that say "up to 30% off," so which means you can get a picture frame for almost free. Doubt anything of value is on sale.

Always sad to see another retailer go under. Google is king.....

Plenty of brick and mortar retailers doing just fine....ones that are over priced and have poor customer service deserve the same fate.....free market baby....do it better than the next guy or die as a result of your actions/inactions.....

Really a shame that nice venues like their stores are such crap as a result of poor management and top level decisions. With a little help from the top end, they could be a real contender in the marketplace...but at this point they are ultimately doomed. I'm surprised that the Tyler GM isn't on the list of places being closed. You hardly see any cars in the parking lot even. I have walked through that store numerous times just looking around and couldn't see anything I would be willing to buy at the prices they are charging. If you find something you are interested in, there is a good chance it won't have a price on it and you would have to wander around the store trying to find someone to determine the price....and then it would be outrageous.
Competitive pricing and good customer service is the key to success in stores such as these and they fail on both counts.

Same way with the Sherman store.

Seems they are always within a block or two of an academy too. Price as high as they are on majority of stuff combine pretty crappy customer service it's not going to end well.

Brand new store in Frisco has zero customers on any given day.

Their GM branded gear is excellent, but best price is on sale.

I just got their flyer in the Sunday paper. I thought surely it would be full of bargains. Nope, nothing at all that made in want to get in the car and go to the store.....and I was looking for an excuse to go.

I am thinking about going to my local one this afternoon just to see what really is on sale.

Please let us know....thanks

Seems to be at least 10% off everything in the store. All fishing stuff was 20%. Deer stands, feeders, and a few other things were 30% off. Still that puts the price higher than Academy.
I did find a few camo items on a clearance rack, then an additional 10% off made it a good buy.

I got an email from them a few weeks ago advertising 15% off everything in the place besides guns, ammo and anything already on sale. I ended up ordering 3 reconyx game cams online from them and saved quite a bit of money. Good time to make large purchases.

I remember when Gander Mountain was the best catalogue store around until they were bought out by Cabelas. When they re-emerged as a retail store they had a good line of products at a fair price. Their end of year sales were fantastic, especially on their guide gear products. I even bought a lightly used Remington 11-87 Mossy Oak Camo turkey gun with screw in choke tubes for $247.
When they brought out the Gander Girls, my wife said they were doomed to failure.lol Not long after that they started to cater to other outdoor recreational activities and began removing all of their fish and game mounts.
It's No wonder they're closing their doors.
I personally haven't seen a good sale at GM for several years.

Stopped by the one by me today and it doesn't appear they are trying to get rid of their inventory. Everything I'd be interested in is only 10% off which of course is still priced higher than other stores. Only the well I guess you can't have too much of _____ is 30% off.

when the corsicana store first opened they had
some decent pricing. i bought a couple of guns
there and several knives. then they started down
that cullum & boren/oshman's path with the casual
clothes and softball/tennis/etc. and gifty type crap.
what a shame that the executive-types can run a
business in the ground as fast or faster than
knowledgeable employees can take it to the top.

didn't see any good deals on pistols or ammo.

went on Saturday to the store in SugarLand. no real deals just 10% off was normal a few items were 20% off really only equates to a dollar or two off. wonder what they will do with guns if they don't sell?

I was told the Tyler store is closing or has already closed.

Not all are closing, stopped by one the other day and they said they were remaining open (for now)

We talked to the manager at the one on 290 in Cypress the other day. While their store is closing, they will be the last in the Houston area to close. As all the others close, they will send the majority of their inventory to this one to sell. The only one in the Houston area that will remain open is the one in Spring off 45. All others will be shutdown. So me and the wife decided to go see if they had any deals. Almost the entire store is 10-20% off at this point, but he did say they will go lower eventually, but inventory may be limited (sizes, colors etc). I'll be checking back in periodically to keep an eye on a few things, but for now, not many deals other than some items are 20% off. Ammo and guns are NOT on sale.....

I stopped at the one in Sugarland today. Big signs saying up to %40 off! I check out everything and even with the discounts, Academy is still cheaper. I will never go there again.

same here in Killeen. Anything I would want is only 10% off only stuff that's 40% off is crap. They suck.

The Mesquite Tx store is a sad site. You can see a Academy from their parking lot. I have never seen more than 10 customers in that store at one time. They once had CCI 22 mag ammo for $22 a box while Academy was selling the same ammo for $13. They had a Savage rifle I wanted in the used rack. It was priced higher than what Academy wanted for it new. I am shocked that store is not closing.

They probably use the writes offs from all the theft
