Gander Mountain Warning!

Check into a FFL transfer at Gander the guy told me $75 with a straight face.........WHAT??? Yep he handed me Gander Mt FFL paperwork sure enough $75 This tells me "no we don't want your business"

I can proudly say I haven't given them a penny of my money in quite some time. I'll spare you the graphic details of my story. Let's just say that Gander Mountain can suck it.

(Hopefully this pops up when people Google Gander Mountain.)

Suck it, Gander Mountain.

I haven't been to one of their locations for some time. It seemed like they were usually busy whenever I would stop by in the past, the parking lot was always full as well as the shelves... The last few times I stopped by the Aurora location it seemed pretty dead, the place was deserted, It was like they're going out of business.

That's what you get for shooting a "wildcat". They are trying to go out of business, they 're just doing it as slow as they can. They aren't even replacing inventory. Selling re-wrapped returns at full price. The one in Aurora is one step up from a Mexican flea market, except without the deals or haggling.

I too have been to the Thornton store and walked out completely disgusted. It's fricken sad honestly as when they have specials going there are deals to be had, but I'm to the point I won't go in there even if there's a good deal advertised.

I have seen the same thing. The Gander Store that opened in Tyler Texas when I lived down there was great. I puchased a Kimber .45 and an M&P15 from them among a lot of other items with no issues. Since moving to CO I have never enjoyed going there at all.

THIS!

After a week of them having my firearm, it took me calling Gander corporate and asking the rep to have them check to see if I could pick it up. All of my phone calls to the store ended with a response similar to: "We will call you when your order is in... *Click*"

I eventually got an apology from the store manager in E-mail. I will never give them any more of my money ever. I don't enjoy making a free $500 1 week+ loan to companies for merchandise.

(I'm starting to wonder whether Gander Mountain sounds like Candy Mountain for a reason.....*high-pitched whiny voice* Gander Mountain Charrrrlieeeee!)

You think there will be best buy stores by the time this one goes under?

The last time I was at gander in Aurora they didn't have the big bucket of pretzels anymore.[Rant1]

Has anybody noticed there's a brand new Gander Mtn. in Parker right next to Costco? Opens in Sept.
