Gander Mountain Store in San Antonio Closing

Register to hide this ad
Guns and ammo at every day low prices. Those low prices is why they are closing many stores. Their idea of what low prices are is a joke.
I imagine the guns and ammo that don't get sold will be transferred to their other stores.
Hey John was the parking lot about empty as usual at that store?
 
They just built one near me. The very first big box type gun store here. Cabela's is closest at 2hrs away and Bass Pro is about the same. So I walked in on their grand opening and wow was I shocked......prices were outrageous. I came and left. Driving by a few weeks ago I decided to just check in and see if it got better. Sadly it didn't. Outrageous prices and some people were actually buying things. Well I know where I won't be spending my money

I've shopped in Gander Mountain stores about a half a dozen times. And that's all I did was gander each time and wonder why they attempted to collect so much of my hard earned money when I could go down the street and save mucho dinero.
 
The GM store near me in Peoria is to stay open at least for the moment !! They have a big selection of Pistols but the Farm store in town beats them by 30 to 75 dollars when they have a gun sale ..

I don't do much business there as the prices seem to higher then the BPS across the river from Peoria .. only time I stopped in was when something I wanted was on sale .. its a bit of a drive and the BPS is closer by 10 miles ..
 
My mailbox has been getting bombarded lately with 20% off GM coupons but they're not valid on guns and ammo. Good for powder and primers though.
Stopped by my GM the other day and had 3 different employees try to hand me 15% off coupons that they had printed from their website. They must be getting desperate.

It actually had more cars than I had ever seen at one time. Must have been ten of them.
 
When i went to get my Shield 45 GM was asking $465.00 plus tax.
Got the weapon at LGS for $420.00 including tax so a little under $400.00 for the 45.

Talked to GM and showed them the receipt ...then the said they price match any verifiable offer from any other store.

They deserve to go OB....
 
Who thought they could be successful in San Antonio - were there are about ten Academy stores and a Bass Pro - with their high prices on guns and ammo.

Back during the 2013-2015 ammo crunch I checked them out a couple of times when they advertised a sale, but that was it.
 
I went by the Tulsa GM this week. A few employees cars in parking lot and I appeared to be the only customer in the store. I made my usual visit to the ammo section mainly checking for affordable (no such thing as cheap anymore) .22 ammo. I also perused the used gun counter but no joy there either. I will say that their sales staff is usually very friendly and helpful.
In speaking with some of them, they said they're in the dark as to what corporate is doing and they found out about bankruptcy when they heard it on the local news.
 
There is one in Rogers Mn that is closing. Its 1/2 mile from Cabelas. I went in there several times. Hardly anyone in the place when cabelas is packed. Prices were stupid high.
I don't understand how they thought for example that they could price loading components 20% or so higher than Cabelas. And Cabelas is not a bargain in many cases.

In this morning's paper, the San Antonio GM had a quarter page ad announcing that it was closing and was having a liquidation sale.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere on this forum, but Gander Mountain filed for Chapter 11 a week or two ago. Sometime around March 10, I believe.

They're closing thirty-two of their stores.

Texas has twenty- two stores and ten of those stores are closing. Lubbock, Texarkana, Killeen, Waco, Houston, San Antonio, West Houston, Round Rock, Sugarland, and Laredo are all closing. That's a lot of folks out of work. Not sure what'll happen to the remaining Texas stores. I think they may liquidate as part of Gander Mountain's debt restructuring.

Gander Mountain sold its mail order business to Cabela's a while back, then Bass Pro Shops bought Cabela's!

I think the big box outdoor store market has kinda tipped over...just too many stores selling the same-same merchandise.
 
I wish the Sportsman's Warehouse was still around. Maybe it still is in some places. There were two here, but both shut down around ten years ago. Good selection of reloading supplies and equipment, reasonably priced. Frequent sales on guns. I liked SW far better than BPS.
 
There's 10 GM in Texas that are on the chopping block including the one nearby in Round Rock.

Two days last week I had the code on my phone for the $20 off a $50 purchase except guns and ammo.

I bought 4 x 1lb jugs of Alliant Bullseye for $60 + tax.

A new Field and Stream opened in Cedar Park and prices are as bad or worse than GM.
