<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere is a new lawsuit targeting Marcus Lemonis, the CEO of Gander Outdoors. The company bought Gander Mountain at a bankruptcy auction and re-launched the brand as Gander Outdoors. Plaintiff David Ronge filed the lawsuit seeking class action certification. Lemonis denied the allegations against him. He vowed to bring the lawsuit to court. In the meantime, he’s urging consumers to boycott Gander Outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the company has not announced which locations will close, some analysts are predicting that the chain will close 27 former outdoor retail stores before the end of January. Camping World has also warned rival outdoor retail chain West Marine that it was “coming for you.” But the company’s CEO is sticking by his strategy. He acquired Gander Outlet and smaller retail chains last year, and plans to continue concentrating on recreational vehicles. The company previously warned West Marine to prepare for competition after it filed for bankruptcy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While this might sound like an expansion of an already successful model, the strategy is still a long way from becoming a truly national brand. Gander Mountain’s name was dropped from the brand’s name, but it’s not too late for the company to reinvent itself. Moreover, Gander Outdoors’ name is now more recognizable than ever. However, that’s just the start. The company has spent a lot of money in technology and has set its sights on expanding its business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The parent company of Gander Outdoors, Inc., purchased Gander Mountain’s assets in a bankruptcy auction in May 2017. The company plans to reopen several Gander Mountain stores under the Gander Outdoors banner. In the meantime, it plans to bring back relevant products and services for outdoor enthusiasts. And, yes, there’s no word on whether or not the Gastonia location will be reopened. However, there are some hints that Gander Outdoors will remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company purchased Gander Mountain for $37 million in October 2017. Along with this acquisition, the company also acquired Uncle Dan’s, Earth Sports LLC dba Erehwon Mountain Outfitters, and Rock\/Creek Outfitters. After all of these deals, Camping World has a diversified portfolio of industry-leading brands. The company recently plans to add more organic stores to its retail chain. Aside from the brand Gander, it also has a strong e-commerce platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
