As for Gander, they don't have plans to operate ANY stores at this point as outdoors/ hunting and fishing stores. The closings you are seeing is direct result from the original closing announcements prior to the bankruptcy auction.

I can't wait for this retail turd to finally close.
The information I passed on here was posted in the American Rifleman several months ago.
It stated the deal had been closed in Oct. for an amount of (as I recall) over 3 billion dollars.
