Gander Mountain re-opening in 2018

[boogieman]

I just got an email that the new Gander Outdoors in Castleton is open as of today. No headsup or anything else just here we are.

Got the same email. Might have to stop by to see if they learned anything.

They stopped me at the door & found out I was a Trump supporter, didn't let me in.

The new chain is Gander Outdoors and their color theme is now light blue. The new website is Ganderoutdoors.com. Marcus Lomonis of Camping World and the show “The Profit” is the owner of all of it. Check out the website, interesting.

I have done business with the one in Grand Rapids (Wyoming) and what I like about them is that they sell used firearms.

Marcus doesn't want your business!

I just looked at the glock selection on the website. Looks like the pricing is pretty standard instead of the overinflated gander mountain pricing of old.

I stopped by the Castleton location this morning. Prices are much more in line with reality.

That's good to here. I assume it's at the same location.

I used to go to GM during my lunch hour sometimes just to look. Never bought anything there and won't ever if they do open this May. Will still go "lookin" there sometimes. I like the LGS Wrigley Sales on Lima Road in Fort Wayne. Prices seem pretty good because I bought three handguns there in the last two years. Tomlinson's in Churubusco is really good for reloading. I buy all of my brass at BK Bullets in Peru.

If you are a Trump supporter and spend money there please send a thank you note to the CEO thanking him for reopening the store and telling him you are going to shop at his store in spite of his statement that trump supporters are not welcome there.

Yep, just north of Castleton Square Mall.

They had a particularly wide selection of things. Assorted 1911s, Glocks, the other popular nines, ARs, shotguns, etc. On the more interesting side, they had several FN 5.7s, a PS90, a Tavor and several SCARs.

Gander was like any other store. Good prices on a few pieces. You just have to shop around.
I miss the one in Greenwood.

Ditto.. I can't believe that Castelton is a better market than Greenwood. I know the Carmel Point Blank's volume is considerably less than Greenwood. I didn't buy much there but would consider them if their prices and attitude has changed. If we were to get really lucky Cabelas would reopen the store in Greenwood but in today's market I'm honestly surprised that any of them are reopening.

I asked about the Greenwood store and the answer I got from the Castleton store owner, there is a Camping World store already there and it didn’t make sense to have both.

I need some 4 or 6 pound green fishing line. Hmmmm. Can not be extremely more expensive than other store if I am going to buy it anyway. Cabela’s is just down the road but they seem to be more expensive than most places. I just need a couple small spools for a couple of ultra lights before the spring melt is under way.

Might be worth a trip trip off the highway. No worse than buying it at a Walmart after all.

They installed a people counter in the foyer. Then they complained that Carmel's headcount was below the other stores, specifically Greenwood.

They built the store in a business/office park!

It is a little convoluted to try and get there, definitely not that convenient.
