I was told the Tyler store is closing or has already closed.
The Tyler location is still open. I was there today. I started to buy some braided line but thought $30 was a bit steep for 30lb 300 yards. Academy is just a jump away......Same brand 30lb 300yds. $20 33% more expensive at Gander. That's just a shame.

Our new Academy here in Huntsville, AL opened this weekend. Should be the final coffin nail in our Gander Mountain store. Place was always a ghost town on the three occasions I shopped there.

Wife & I were in GM in Lake Worth last week. They were giving out 15% coupons, but most every thing we looked at you could take 15% off and still buy it cheaper at Academy.......
.....and along those lines the new Academy in Weatherford is opening this week!

Just announced that Camping World has bought out Gander Mountain. Article Could be good considering the majority of people on here dont like the prices. Bankruptcy court has to approve everything(maybe today) but Camping world is said to be closing the vast majority of them. From what I read they are going to liquidate all the stores and go from there. Prices always seemed a touch high with no sale but my problem was always the displays and not being able to find anything. Could be some great prices if the truly liquidate them.

Im pretty sure when something in Gander is 20% off they just add 20% to the starting price to make it seem like your getting a discount when your not.

It looks like there was a last minute buyer pf Gander Mountain's name and leases. http://www.reporternews.com/story/money/...ores/101409474/
When the St. Paul, Minn.-based Gander Mountain filed for bankruptcy in March, it said it would shut down 32 stores in 11 states over the next several weeks. At the time, the company's 160 stores employed 1,280 full-time and part-time workers.
Before the bankruptcy, Gander Mountain has stores in 26 states.
Lemonis is CEO of Camping World Holdings, which operates a network of stores catering to recreational vehicle owners. Camping World made the bid for Gander Mountain.
In his CNBC role, Lemonis is seen investing in distressed, businesses around the country and then personally taking a hand in trying to turn them around, often butting heads with the management in the process. When it comes to Gander Mountain, Lemonis said he doesn't mind starting over with all new merchandise.
"We want to help the liquidators sell their inventory. We don't want to be disruptive to that, but we also don't want employees thinking that they're all losing their jobs," Lemonis said. "I am definitely going to protect my people at all costs. No matter what."

And yet I just got my "Pre-Approved Gander Mountain MasterCard" letter in the mail yesterday. And if I accept today I could earn $60 reward when I spend $500 on everyday purchases within the first 90 days. Sign me up!!

More power to the new buyer. I'd hate to start out 4th back in the pack, but doesn't sound like he's "risk averse".

I dropped by the lake worth location today that's closing. Although everything was marked down it was still higher than that of academy's prices. It's really kind of sad because it's the closest and most convenient outdoor store to me in azle. Seems like every time I go in there I come out empty handed like I did today.

I went to the Arlington store last week and got 3 dozen arrows for 60 bucks, now granted those are store brand. But, they are carbon fiber and made by Easton, and when you have a 10 y.o. daughter and a 12 y.o. nephew flinging arrows downrange....cheap arrows never hurt!

Amarillo like most places. 10% off anything decent. Almost down to regular retails prices.

Amarillo like most places. 10% off anything decent. Almost down to regular retails prices. Same here in Spring just outside of Houston. A large sign said "Up to 40% Off". Couldn't find anything in the store with that discount. Nearly everything was just 10% off their normal inflated prices. Won't be back. Let'em crater.
