Gander Mountain will open a new location in Mobile, AL in the fall. It will represent the outdoors retailer's seventh Alabama store.
“Gander Mountain is already a well-known and trusted name in Alabama among those who love the outdoors, and who enjoy great traditions like hunting, fishing, hiking, boating and camping,” said David Pratt, Gander Mountain’s President and CEO. “We are thrilled to bring a new Gander Mountain store to Mobile, and give more of our friends on the Gulf Coast opportunities to experience our top-quality gear and knowledgeable service at great prices.”
Gander Mountain in Mobile will be located in a new 50,000-square-foot store in the Westwood Plaza shopping center, near the junction of Airport Blvd. and Schillinger Road South. It will be the seventh Gander Mountain location in Alabama, joining existing stores in Dothan, Florence, Huntsville, Opelika, Tuscaloosa and a new store in Gadsden which opens next week.
“We are pleased and excited to welcome Gander Mountain to Mobile,” said Mayor Sandy Stimpson. “This great company will be a fine addition to our community and we look forward to a long, productive relationship for many years to come.”
“We appreciate the warm welcome we have received from the people in Mobile and look forward to our grand opening in the fall,” said Eric Jacobsen, Gander Mountain’s Executive Vice President and Director of Real Estate.
Gander Mountain’s newest store will feature one of the largest selections of new and used firearms in Alabama, together with the best selection of gear and accessories for hunting, fishing, camping, boating and archery.
