Walleyehooker Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I havnt been a fan of GM since they went to being more of a clothing store so I suspect this will be a gun and clothing store. However I will stop at least once to check it out on my way to C and may even buy a gun if the price is right. At least a guy will be able to compare prices easily and maybe even negotiate a better price on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walleye18 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Agree with the replies regarding Gander Mtn. The one in the Brainerd area is almost a "ghost town". As was said, prices are way too high. Glad we have the new Mills Gun Shop and the Mills store right across the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we have the new Mills Gun Shop and the Mills store right across the street. I never could figure out how the Brainerd Gander could stay in business with Fleet Farm just across the road.

hockeybc69 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 If this topic is any indicator of how successful the new Gander firearms superstore is going to be..... they could have some store closing super discounts in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepete Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I am always happy to have another gun store opening nearby. I shopped the Gander in Maple Grove quite a bit before it went out of business. There prices were competitive. I like a store small enough that I can get in and get out without 25 minutes of parking and walking. Without Gander here I have been pretty much shopping fleet farm exclusively (they were always cheaper to beginwith). I hit Cabelas for hard to find items that I can't wait to order on amazon.

fasternu Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Our Gander store always seems to never have prices marked, often times the stuff is just laying on unmarked shelves or the floor, the help runs the other way when you want to ask them about something, or it is out of stock. I asked a worker one time when they were constantly out of stock on duck decoys why they don't order more just before peak times, and the response was that "the stores don't order items, we get what headquarters thinks we need." Enough said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyDawg Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Fleet Farm is good on prices for the cheap stuff, but they are woefully short on moderate to upper end sporting goods. The brands they carry are entry level stuff. For quality gear, Cabelas is about as good as it gets and if you work their coupons and bargain cave, the prices arent too bad.Gander is laughable in terms of pricing. I had some insider knowledge a few years back on a product and to call what they did gouging was to be kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartmanMN Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Anyone been in there yet? Parking lot looked busy on Saturday as I headed to Cabelas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCCO9803 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I was told that the Lakeville Fleet Farm is getting rid of their fitness equipment area and putting in more firearms stuff and reloading equipment. Has anyone else heard this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbymalone Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 i wish they'd take a bulldozer to that lakeville store. OK, fine the range there is pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shack Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I am excited about this store opening. Have not been by just yet but will very soon. We discussed the topic in another forum here at HSO awhile back: Click Here Unfortunately someone had to lock the topic in the other forum so it's nice to see this thread is going decently.

going4it Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Not impressed, the big grand opening is this weekend they told me, and then they would have all of there stuff out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
going4it Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Went back tonight to get a shotgun cleaner for trap shooting. Walked up to 3 employees talking stood there for a min and them walked out when none of them would stop and even look at me. Done with that place already. Cabelas will be the only stop on that road.

harvey lee Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I just do not see Gander making it. I have been in a few of thier stores over the years and unless I hear that they are better than b4, I will not bother to go to any of thier stores.Staff seemed to be less than knowledgable, prices not that great nor was the inventory at least for what I was looking for.
