Gander Mountain May Have Found a Suitor in Sportsman’s Warehouse
Sportsman’s Warehouse is currently in private discussions about purchasing upwards of 80% of Gander Mountain‘s stores. It is undecided whether the Gander Mountain stores would then be re-branded as Sportsman’s Warehouse locations or remain the same. If Sportsman’s Warehouse were to acquire Gander Mountain at a reasonable price this could be a very valuable acquisition.

Sportsman’s Warehouse is based out of Utah with most of their stores blanketing western states (80 Stores – 22 States). Gander Mountain, on the other hand, has a strong presence throughout much of the Midwest and Atlantic regions (160 Stores – 27 States). This would more evenly establish Sportsman’s Warehouse’s coverage of the United States regardless of their branding choice.

Marcus Lemons from the TV Show The Profit heads this company, my bet is he's gonna take Gander to a whole new level

Camping World-led group wins bankruptcy auction for Gander Mountain

There are three different groups in talks with GM. I have heard through people employed, that all talks should be done by the end of June. I hope they sell to the right buyer and stay open.

the question is .. will they sell to NY .. FUAC .. and you know what i mean .. oh we can ship to store for you pick up but not to your home FU ..

the best scenario would be SW buys GM, but then says they will not open any stores in New Yorkistan because of tax regulations and no incentive to prosper in New Yorkistan.

Only two things could happen:

1) King Cumhole acquiesce and give the new Sportsmans Warehouse 20 years of tax breaks

or

2) King Cumhole simply shrugs his shoulders and says, "who cares, Im outa here, I'll be running for POTUS"

Besides, now they have to deal with Runnings (which I heard kinda pricy) and BassPro in Auburn and Cabela's in Buffalo

Gander is already doing battle with Field & Stream in Henrietta. The 132,000 square foot Bass Pro Shops in Victor should be opening within a year or so.

I guess I was wrong. Gander in Henrietta is on the list to close.
