Same experience at the Lewisville store - most items are 10-15% off doesn't touch Academy or online prices the majority of the time. No guns or ammo on sale yet.

I went in yesterday and saw little to nothing 30% off as they have signs up...Most was 10 to 15.. The dillon box blind that has been out there since Sept, is still there and was actually cheaper at the after Christmas sale, than it was yesterday....

in my experience Gander Mtn at 30% off means its finally at MSRP. I got taken there on my very first gun cause i didnt know any better. They were good stores to go see stuff live since the ones in DFW and Tyler had good selection but never at a real price.

Gander has 126 stores, they are trying to negotiate a Chapt.11 banruptcy which will allow them to operate with a limited number of those 126 stores. Estimated number of stores staying open is only 23 stores. Those remaining stores must be profitable and maintain a certain level of sales per square foot that will be acceptable to Gander's creditors. The other stores will be closed and totally liquidated; lease settlements will be costly.
After September, if they cannot maintain that profitability level, they will close more stores, or will be forced into Chapt 7 liquidation. Cabelas was able to bail out Gander in 1996 by purchasing their catalog operations, but that's not going to happen again! Gander is to reorganize in September; if they make it past Christmas, they may survive,once again! If not, they will be totally liquidated.
Strong rumor is that Camping World will take over 70 of Gander's stores and add them to their 125 stores nationwide. Good Sam Club is also part of Camping World. This is a strong company, hopefully it can take on this much financial responsibility. CEO of camping world isn't hunter friendly. Marcus Lemonis Is a POS. For the life of me I still can believe that Gander thought it was going to put Academy under.

I went to the one in Sherman on Saturday and was quickly reminded why I never shopped in GM.

If I wanted to buy only 10% less than retail I would just use amazon or another online shop and usually get even better deal than just 10%. With prices like that it's no wonder they are going out of business. They even wanted $475 for a police trade in G22. Ridiculous.

I was in there yesterday. Some deals on clothing and some fishing items, that was about it. Everything else seemed higher than Academy.

I've been watching their discounts on their brand of Yeti style cooler. Right now they are at 20% off, about $305 for a 120qt, if they get closer to 30% off in the coming week I may pull the trigger. Rtic said they are coming out with larger coolers this summer as well. Wish it was now so I could compare the prices.
The store by me is still full of stuff.

Went to the one in Spring today. The only bargain we saw was a pair of camo house shoes for my wife. Normally $25 marked down to $20 with 30% off. I think she paid $14 for them. I think their gun and ammo prices have actually gone up.

I've been in a couple stores and found some deals with clearance markdown clothing,but as said I can see why they are going out of business. High prices and poor customer service is not a successful business plan.

Highly skeptical They changed the one in front of mine to say 50% off, I didn't check the guns since if it's not down to 20% off them it's not worth it. .. Guys BEWARE.. I went in to the Hebron store yesterday and bought several items....Of 22 items 15 did not ring up the correct amt,basically meaning the 10 to 30 % they were suppose to be off did not go through.. Once I brought it to the cashiers attention they seemed upset because they had to go in and manually put in the discount for each item.. eg Plastic worms... Price marked was 3.99... suppose to be 20% off... Rang up 5.99 with 10% off... Snake boots... Marked 209.00 with 40% off..Rang up 229.00 and was only give 10% off...Although they corrected I could imagine how many just buy stuff and assume the deduction was taken...

Sounds like normal GM business ethics that got Gander to where they are currently

I was not a customer of GM like everyone else they were to high. I have been there 4 times in the last 2 weeks.Stopped by Waco store today 60% off a lot of stuff. Guns are 25% off If you are driving through Waco might be worth a stop. I bought 13 things and they were all 50-60% off and rung up right.

I stopped in the Lubbock store yesterday just to peruse. Most stuff still isn't much of a deal though I did get a nice Leupold rangefinder except some jackwagon went and stole the battery covers off every single unit they had on display.
