loworange88 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 So I was over at Gander Outdoors in Cicero(Syracuse) this evening. All hunting/shooting/Fishing merchandise is 10%off(20% if your a Good Sam member). An employee told me they just got word that they are dissolving hunting/fishing and will ultimately be only camping and RV. Guess I’ll be back over there to grab a few things into. The next few weeks…. Sucks because now Runnings is the only store that sells that stuff in the Syracuse area. 45 minutes to either Basspro from here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveboone Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I am a long time retailer (no longer), and when I saw the half hearted way Gander was restructuring their stores, I called this when the transition happened. I never thought much of Gander Mountain, but there are fewer and fewer outdoor oriented stores around than ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's for darned sure. Even Cabelas is not half the store it used to be since they've been bought out by Bass Pro. They don't have a fraction of the stuff that they used to sell.

It's because despite what the clowns say on the phone. They don't have them yet. They're not even scheduled to be at Gander until after the first week of Sept.... Gander is the most dysfunctional business I've ever seen. You'll get them, eventually, but don't count on them pre-season. If you get them in September count your stars. When you place the order it'll tell you the expected date of Sept 8-10, but that is really when the distribution begins. I got in some Reveals this week finally but its like lightning in a bottle.

I ordered 2 Reveals back in June from Gander. At that time, the website did say 2 week delay in shipping. They did in fact ship as stated, and I have them now. I just looked on the website with my most recent order number placed yesterday, and it says the shipment is ready to go, and awaiting tracking info once it gets to FedEx. We shall see what happens. Side note...the Reveals are no longer listed on the website today, they must have sold them out fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trial153 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 The Gander in Coxsackie had mostly low quality junk anyway. Don’t think we will be missing much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staples is closing stores, so is bed bath and beyond… the internet is taking over Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have a Hobby Lobby about 30 minutes out, we have Micheal's all over the place here. Big box stores killed toy stores, not the web, Toys R Us was closing long before internet shopping took the foothold it has. If you can get the same stuff at places like Walmart for 1/3rd the cost most people are going to go there. I agree online shopping is ruining the mom n pop shops though, those little shops can't buy the bulk and sell it low enough to make a profit to keep doors open. As for Gander Outdoors? I kept hearing the hype about the one that opened in Coxsackie, been there a few times and I'm about as impressed as seeing someone use a pencil instead of a pen. Jacked up prices on most stuff and even if you get the subscription membership the prices are still high in my book. Couple of the guys working the firearms don't seem to know a bullet from a nose picker. Edited August 30, 2021 by DirtTime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobbler Chaser Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Yea it's called the Amazon effect. Our Gander in Middletown closed years ago and I really miss it. Guess there's more money in glass pumpkins and holiday decorations from China. Our Gander is a Home Goods store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a Barnes and Noble nearby, but it is about the only book store in the area. Granted, between Ebay and Amazon you can usually find ten times the books on a subject much cheaper, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I went to the Cicero store today, most hunting and fishing stuff is 50% off. I did get a new pop up blind and a few odds and ends. I spoke with a clerk and asked about the sale, he said once all this stuff is gone, it will be only an RV and camping store. (I think I read that here on another thread) I may go back tomorrow, but I am not really in need of anything at the moment. I may take a harder look at some of the guns, I didn’t really have time to look at that department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
