Gander Mountain Chain sleeps with the fishes

Yep Greensburg is closed, West Mifflin is closed, Washington is having close out sales now and I have it from a good source that the brand new Monroeville store, which they just completed 12-18 months ago has not officially been told they are closing but were also told not give any in store credit or sell gift cards.  Only good thing is that you should be able get some great deals even if it is a sad thing.  Sad the only retail store that specifically caters to sportsmen will be either Cabela's in WV or Field N Stream in Cranberry. Only a handful of small fly shops still open in the area.

Is the Johnstown location having closing sales now?

one place you can go they just put a new sportsman warehouse in Morgantown

get off at first Morgantown wv exit going south on 79 then make a right u will c it o. the hill just opened

i haven't been it it yet gonna check it out today raining and creeks r muddy

Ain't that sumthin, a liquidation sale promoting 10 to 30% off. Travel to a store annnnd nothing you want, is on sale or been out of stock.

Ummm, anybody subscribe to the newsletter from FishUSA? I've received numorous discount promos the past two weeks giving as much as 15% off, items in stock, and I sit in the comfort of my home knowing my new toys will arrive (for me) in two days. Or a 1 hour drive gits me to a store where I will find, in stock, the item I just traveled for.

went to GM in Monroe yesterday I learned long ago doesn't matter what GM I go to I take picture of every price tag ! yep tried to get me for $25.00 over charged again ! GBG was the worse for that . Monroe store is full of stuff but the sale price is an joke .

Just was at Johnstown one sales weren't lower then 15-20%, loads of people and still a good bit to choose from

I was up there before the going out of business sale and got a 15% discount on total purchase.  So they are not giving out any deals.   Maybe closer to the closing they will off more off but there won't be anything good left. 
The paper today said they don't know if the store will re-open under the new ownership.  Camping World bought all the stores I believe.

Stopped at the Greensburg store earlier. Most stuff was marked 10% off, clothing was mostly 20% off. Firearms and ammo were not discounted at all.

Called the Erie store today (5/7), they'e closing up too.

lots of questions we will see what happens

Camping World bought Gander Mountain but they did not buy the merchandise. They will keep 70 stores open. Don't expect to find great deals. The merchandise is already sold to a liquidator. The are controlling the prices and discounts, and what doesn't sell they will be packing up and taking.  This is what I have been told

I believe you are correct.......I don't expect any great deals.
 
Seems over the years all these chain stores have become more expensive on outdoor gear.
Even with competition, most prices are not much different store to store. All high !
Dic' s had some decent deals over the early years on fishing gear, but they have slipped bad too. Walmart's fishing gear isles are pitiful just basics... if that. Guess online is the way to go about 90% of the time.
Fish USA and Cabalas for me.      

yeah because overtons is marine 

lol great

Gander aquired Overtones's in 2007.
