Gander Mountain will open its newest store at 6199 Metro Drive in the town of Burke on April 22. The store is the 13th in Wisconsin, the state where Gander Mountain was founded in 1960 as a catalog company.
The nearly 91,000 square foot store is one of the largest of Gander Mountain's 114 stores. The larger format allows the store to carry a much broader and deeper selection of products for the outdoors enthusiast. Customers will have access to thousands of firearms, equipment for hunting, fishing, and archery, apparel and footwear, camping equipment, and gifts.
Fishing boats, ATVs, canoes, and kayaks will be displayed inside and outside of the store. The store offers a full range of services including: an on-site gunsmith, ATV service and repair, an archery lane and full-service archery shop, line winding, boat and motor service, and a larger than average number of associates with a wealth of knowledge about the outdoor products they provide.
The store also features a "Gander Mountain Lodge," a meeting room provided free of charge for meetings of local outdoor groups. During the year Gander Mountain provides educational courses for outdoor enthusiasts in the Lodge and offers more hunter safety programs through its lodges than any other retailer in the United States.
The grand opening of the store will begin on April 25 and will feature in-store specials, a limited number of free promotional items for "first shoppers" and appearances byoutdoors celebrities.
