Gander Mountain plans to open a store in Gander Mountain in Monroeville in western Pennsylvania in spring 2016.

“We have been a part of the state’s retail scene for many years, so people in Pennsylvania know Gander Mountain is the place to go for outdoors enthusiasts who are seeking the best selection, service and value,” said David Pratt, Gander Mountain’s chief executive officer. “We are happy to bring a new Gander Mountain store to Monroeville and greater Pittsburgh, where outdoors traditions run deep and are passed down from generation to generation. We’re looking forward to giving more people the chance to experience all that Gander Mountain offers.”

The newest Gander Mountain store will be located in an existing 80,000-square-foot facility at 4680 Old William Penn Highway, in the Monroeville Plaza shopping center, just west of the junction of William Penn Highway and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. It will be the 12th Gander Mountain location in Pennsylvania, joining existing stores in Chambersburg, Erie, Greensburg, Harrisburg, Johnstown, Moon Township, Scranton, Washington, Williamsport and York, and a recently-announced store in Warrington Township also slated to open in the spring of 2016.

“We are excited to have a renowned company like Gander Mountain coming to Monroeville and we look forward to the new retail opportunity,” said Gregory Erosenko, mayor of Monroeville. “On behalf of the people of Monroeville, we welcome the new business, revenue and jobs that Gander Mountain will bring to the region, and we know this will be a great fit for our community.”

“We appreciate the warm welcome we have received from the people in Monroeville and look forward to the grand opening of another new Pennsylvania store in the spring,” said Eric Jacobsen, Gander Mountain’s Executive Vice President and Director of Real Estate.
