Gander Mountain will open a store in Spring 2014 in Fenton, MO, its first in Missouri.
“Gander Mountain has long been a well-known and trusted name among those who love the outdoors, and who enjoy great traditions like hunting, fishing, hiking, boating and camping,” said David Pratt, Gander Mountain’s Chairman and CEO. “We are thrilled to continue our national expansion with the announcement of our first Missouri store, giving our friends in greater St. Louis new opportunities to experience our top-quality gear and knowledgeable service at great prices.”
The Fenton store will be located in an existing 96,600-square-foot space on Gravois Bluffs Boulevard in the Gravois Bluffs Shopping Center, near the intersection of Highway 30 and Highway 141. When remodeling is complete, the site will include 65,000 square feet of retail space.
“We are proud that Gander Mountain has selected the City of Fenton as its first store site in the State of Missouri,” said Michael D. Polizzi, Mayor of Fenton. “Gander Mountain provides a broad mix of products for the outdoor lifestyle. We are pleased that this well-respected company chose us, and look forward to a productive partnership.”
