The company isn&#8217;t closing all of its doors but it will be shutting down low-profit locations.<\/p>\n<p>This follows bankruptcy rumors for a few weeks following a recent Reuters report. Earlier this month Gander Mountain responded to those rumors in a statement saying that they were looking at ways to turn their business around.<\/p>\n<p>The company is working with Wells Fargo to structure a &#8220;going-concern&#8221; sale of its businesses. The Gander Mountain Company also owns Overton&#8217;s, a brick-and-mortar and online boating goods retailer. Across the U.S. Gander Mountain will be closing and selling 32 of its locations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[Bankruptcy] is the result of an in-depth review of the company&#8217;s strategic options undertaken in recent months to preserve the value of the company and position it for long-term success,&#8221; said the company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gandermountain.com\/help-center\/about-us\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gander-mountain-filing-chapter-11\" title=\"Gander Mountain Filing Chapter 11, Closing 32 Locations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a statement<\/a>. &#8220;Like many retailers, Gander Mountain experienced challenging traffic patterns and shifts in consumer demand resulting from increased direct-to-customer sales by key vendors and accelerated growth of e-commerce.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite aggressive actions to improve the efficiency of the company&#8217;s retail operations and support functions, the underlying financial impact from underperforming stores and unproductive, excess inventory hampered efforts to create a sustainable path forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>WFMJ has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfmj.com\/story\/34725184\/gander-mountain-files-ch-11-bankruptcy-closing-32-stores\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gander-mountain-filing-chapter-11\" title=\"Gander Mountain Filing Chapter 11, Closing 32 Locations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a list of all 32 stores<\/a> in 11 states that are closing. The company still has long-term plans for the remaining stores.<\/p>\n<h2>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/gander-mountain-responds-to-bankruptcy-rumor\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gander-mountain-filing-chapter-11\" title=\"Gander Mountain Filing Chapter 11, Closing 32 Locations\">Gander Mountain Responds to Bankruptcy Rumor<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>In 2012 the company added more than 60 locations across the country. This increased the number of stores to over 160 in 28 states. Gander Mounting is currently working with &#8220;a number of interested parties&#8221; looking to solicit bids prior to their auction. The company expects to hold an asset auction in April of 2017, with sales closing in the month after that.<\/p>\n<p>Gander Mountain&#8217;s business model had clear flaws. As a firearms retailer, Gander Mountain&#8217;s business should have been booming. Gun sales from 2012 through 2016 were nothing short of record-breaking.<\/p>\n<p>While gun sales only represent a portion of Gander Mountain&#8217;s income, the company&#8217;s inability to capitalize on four straight years of increasing gun sales indicates flaws with their old sales model.<\/p>\n<p>The structured bankruptcy will allow Gander Mountain to protect their interests and their employees.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The company generally expects to conduct normal business operations during the pendency of its restructuring,&#8221; added the statement. &#8220;Employee pay will continue to arrive on time and in full, employee benefits will remain in place and retirement accounts are intact and protected.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports retail giant
