I only buy things there when it's on sale/clearance. For an out doors store they sure are stuck up. I have been to the one on a 104th and I now live in Aurora so I went to the one down here same thing down here. There employee training must have a huge chapter on how to drive customers away.
I also live a just 15mins from there. I was looking for new pheasant gun and they had a very, very, very used SP-87 in the used rack for like 565. Place is a joke. For a big chain store, sportsmans on 84th is ok. I get my #6 shot from there for a good price.
I really think that their retard purchasing agent hasn't noticed that ammo prices have come DOWN since the Obama-just-got elected/metal-prices-went-through-the-roof scare; they still have things priced at 08 levels.
They used to have some decent prices on used guns, but even that has gone away since they rearranged the gun section.
Wow. I'm really sorry to see all of these posts. I've actually been working in firearms at Gander for the past 5ish months as a second job to save money for when i start the academy next month and I try my hardest to make sure I get all of the customers taken care of.
I wont say that any of your points are without validity because i agree with alot of what has been said, and I encourage all of you that have had bad experiences to call our store manager Chris and tell him what's going on.
I wont make any excuses for the company or its staff but I will tell you that none of us working behind that counter are happy about the circumstances corporate has put us in and we really do try to take care of the people who come in as best as we can despite that.
Like I said, if anyone has an issue with the store or its service, please call the store manager Chris or the firearms manager Keith and let them know.
This wasn't a pitch for Gander at all, I just hate hearing that people aren't satisfied with the service in my department.
I've found a couple good deals through their used guns and even a couple new guns. Although it was all before their remodel. Since then, I have not found many deals. I did get an electronic predator call there a week ago for something like $38.00 out the door. It was a Johnny Stewart Preymaster.
I miss their old floor layout, it was one of the few places you could still go and handle guns without having to hand them back to the sales person.
