I don't work for nobody(except my DW). I do find it interesting as I am an occasional customer and plenty has changed in the last couple of years with Sports Authority gone, Dick's and Field & Stream teaming up, Bass Pro and Cabela's "merging", Gander disappearing---but not really.

SE Oklahoma, I'm claiming it for Texas!

Never cared for Gander Mountain. Over priced. I always Liked Cabelas for gun/hunting stuff and Bass Pro for fishing stuff though. I hope they don't change too much.

Van Zandt County

Before shopping at the "new" Gander Outlook (ex Mountain) look at what the owner had to say: Talking about the riots.

Marcus Lemonis said if you agree with what Trump said last week to shop elsewhere. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/16/marc...-business.html

I will no longer shop at any of his camping world locations nor Gander whatever.

Yep.
I haven't even glanced that way in Lubbock since Cabelas opened.

hill co.

Cabelas is generally high, but has the selection to back it up. Anything they don't have can generally be shipped to store for free.

Gander is overpriced and the inventory sucks.

"There's no doubt that there is probably not many consumers in this country today that are in favor of what has been said in the last couple days and if they are, quite frankly, don't shop at my business," said Lemonis
