The store will also include a "Gander Mountain Lodge," a meeting room provided free of charge for meetings of local outdoor, business or community 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 source in the United States.
Gander Mountain's Ocala store is the retailer's fifth store in Florida. Other stores are located in Lake Mary, St. Augustine, Jacksonville and Palm Beach Gardens.
