Find Out Which Gander Mountain Stores Are Closing In 2017

After rumors swirled for weeks earlier this year, Gander Mountain officially filed for bankruptcy and says it will close dozens of stores across the country.

Gander Mountain, the outdoor gear retailer headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota, will close 32 stores this year.

Unfortunately, that means that 1,280 full-time employees will be out of work soon.

“Despite aggressive actions to improve the efficiency of the company’s retail operations, the underlying financial impact from under performing stores and unproductive, excess inventory hampered efforts to create a sustainable path forward,” according to a Gander Mountain statement.

Gander Mountain, which calls itself “America’s Firearms Superstore,” sells outdoor gear for hunting, camping, fishing and boating.

Add Gander Mountain to the list of more than a dozen popular retailers that plan to close retail locations in 2017. Other struggling retailers include JCPenney, Kmart, Sears, The Limited and Macy’s, just to name a few.
