I have all three around me, I think I liked Gander best. The Cabela's is too small and the Bass Pro is just too full of themselves.

Well now you'll have the worst of both worlds. Don't know if you've heard, but Bass Pro bought Cabelas. Cabelas will still be Cabelas, but they're run by Bass Pro. That's what the manager of the Cabelas near me said.

I can drive an extra 20 minutes to Sportsman's Warehouse, which I like better than all of the above.

Terrible news John!

We have a very large Gander off Northlake Blvd. I love going to a few times a month. Amazon and the move to online shopping causes tragedies like this.

Re: Gander Mountain closing all stores

I was at Gander yesterday in North Palm and they had going out of business signs up and most stuff was 10% - 20% off few things up to 30% but not many. Nothing off on guns and ammo.

I think give it some time and they will come down more but right now the stuff is priced still where you can buy it online or even higher.

I know prices are higher at gander but sure was convenient being 10 min from my house and I used their archery range a lot to sight in my bow. I will be bummed when they close.

I have been hearing for couple years that Bass Pro was suppose to go in at Juno Beach in that old stip mall on US1 and they where going to redo it but haven't heard anything lately for that. Any one here anything on that as of late?
