They're opening one up in Green Bay, too. I'll plan on checking it out when it's open. Never hurts to have another outdoor store in town.

Guess I won’t be shopping there then. I’m not real big on hanging out where I ain’t welcome.

Midway USA all the way!!!!!

I know you guys aint fans, and I ain't a fan of what he said and I love Trump, but the store is still good and they still selling all sorts of guns and some trapping stuff


Trapping is easy you say? You try getting your target animal to step in a 3 inch area of its whole territory.

i dont know about the new stores, or stores in other locations - but around here they were not good.
you could find a decent deal here and there - and their fishing department was pretty good, but I never was a big fan of the stores

I believe camping world bought gander mountain and these are there new stores from that?

They closed all the gander mountain stores around me and as far as I am concerned they can stay away.

Business people are getting dumber cutting thier own throats.

I was also at that store once , they had a reasonable selection of guns , the store seemed less full than when it was Gander mountain.

easiest way to sum it up if it was green they painted it blue and gave it stainless steel borders , put a bike repair station and bikes just in the front door removed about 1/2 the clothing probably anything that was gander mountain brand and added a few lights to brighten the place up. and took the mountain off the side of the building. other than that very little change.

they still sell 30 round mags for 2x what they should and AR rifles and other black guns.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

They where not that great for when they had one open about 2 hours from me and they had sale on some powder and after I got out the door and down the road they charge me full price. I did not go back because of for where I was it was not worth it for $3 or $4 that they kept. I will not go in any other one. Years ago they had a mail order catalog before the store got open across the country . They had fair price compare at the time for the other places I look at.They even had a reloading catalog that I had got alot from them and molds and all. They just went down hill after.

Had one Gander Mountain around here too. It went out of business a year or so ago. Nice store, but prices were too high and service wasn't the best.


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

I guess as far as I am concerned, they can go hand in hand with Yeti and the other dicks. I'll do my shopping at places like Midway and PSA for my needs. Was at PSA at lunchtime to get some powder.


Let's go Brandon

The one I went to was nice. Seemed to be much better run than Gander Mountain was.

Same old same old. I bid some work to their front doors. $340.00 was my total quote. They would not sign our proposal to do the work so I figured I would give them the benefit of the doubt being a ''new'' company. A week later I was ready with the parts but right before I sent a couple guys there I got a 26 page contract for me to sign with $300.00 worth of special insurance requirements embedded in it. I called and told them it was $300.00 more now and they said I had to do the work for what I bid and to sign their contract. I used the parts on another job and told them to find someone else. Not shopping there.

If we don't like them there are other options, but it is almost always better to have more than fewer options.
