Earlier this month Reuters reported on unnamed sources that the company is gearing up to file for bankruptcy in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Gander Mountain is working with financial advisory firm Lighthouse Management Group, Inc. and law firm Fredrikson &amp; Byron PA as it gets ready to file for bankruptcy,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/gandermountain-bankruptcy-idUSL1N1FV1O2\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gander-mountain-responds-to-bankruptcy-rumor\" title=\"Gander Mountain Responds to Bankruptcy Rumor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stated the report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Like most retailers, we are subject to normal economic cycles, changes in our industry and shifts in consumer demand that require us to adapt our business accordingly,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/sgbonline.com\/gander-mountain-downplays-bankruptcy-speculation\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gander-mountain-responds-to-bankruptcy-rumor\" title=\"Gander Mountain Responds to Bankruptcy Rumor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said Gander Mountain in response<\/a>. &#8220;It is this constant adaptation and desire to offer our customers the best selection, best value and best service that has been our hallmark for generations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to insiders, the company had problems attracting new customers even with the recent gun-buying frenzy. The hunting and fishing superstore not only faces stiff competition from other sporting outlets but like all retailers, online vendors as well.<\/p>\n<p>For shoppers looking to buy guns, Gander Mountain has a reputation for hit-or-miss pricing. The company buys and sells used guns in addition to selling new firearms with prices ranging across the board. In the case of over-priced guns Gander Mountain risks losing business to competition. And in instances of under-priced guns the company risks losing profits.<\/p>\n<h2>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/gander-mountain-stock-slovakian-made-grand-power-pistols\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gander-mountain-responds-to-bankruptcy-rumor\" title=\"Gander Mountain Responds to Bankruptcy Rumor\">Gander Mountain to Stock Grand Power Pistols<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>And following the election of President Trump gun sales are down for the first time in years.

Gander Mountain is aware of this and has turned to a consulting firm to help them through their tough times.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To assist in this process, we have retained Houlihan Lokey as independent advisors and we are confident that the outcome of the review will identify the right go-forward strategy,&#8221; continued the statement. &#8220;In the meantime, our Gander Mountain stores and [our website] remain the place to go for all of our customers\u2019 outdoor adventure needs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The statement explains that they are working on a long-term strategy to stay in business. Hopefully this will alleviate some bankruptcy concerns.<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s downturn follows their recent large nation-wide expansion. Today Gander Mountain has 160 locations in 28 states, with around 60 new stores added since 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Reuters reports that Gander Mountain was looking to sell some of their interests but was unable to find a buyer. The company was looking to sell Overton&#8217;s, a boating and marine specialty business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports and outdoor retail giant Gander Mountain has
