Gander Mountain will open its newest Missouri location in Chesterfield this fall.
“It has barely been a year since we opened our first Missouri store, and in that short time Gander Mountain has become the place to go for outdoors enthusiasts who are seeking the best selection, service and prices,” said David Pratt, Gander Mountain’s CEO. “We are happy to bring another new Gander Mountain store to the people in Missouri, where outdoors traditions run deep and are passed down from generation to generation. We’re looking forward to giving more people in metro St. Louis the chance to experience all that Gander Mountain offers.”
The newest Gander Mountain will be located in a new 60,000-square-foot store in the Chesterfield Blue Valley development, just south of St. Louis Premium Outlets, off I-64/US 40 at exit 14. It will be the second Gander Mountain location in Missouri, and the third in metro St. Louis, joining an existing store in Fenton and a new store in O’Fallon, IL, which opened in late May.
“We’re very excited about the addition of Gander Mountain to the Blue Valley area of Chesterfield and we sincerely welcome them to the community,” said Robert Nation, Mayor of Chesterfield. “Gander Mountain is a well-known retailer with a great reputation which will provide jobs and additional shopping opportunities to our region.”
“We appreciate the warm welcome we have received from the people in Chesterfield and look forward to the grand opening of our most recent Missouri store in the fall,” said Eric Jacobsen, Gander Mountain’s Executive VP and director of real estate.
Gander Mountain’s newest store will feature one of the largest selections of new and used firearms in Missouri, together with the best selection of gear and accessories for hunting, fishing, camping, boating and archery. The store will offer an extensive selection of men’s and women’s active performance outdoor and casual apparel featuring exciting brands like Under Armour, The North Face, GSX, Columbia, Carhartt, Guide Series and Kühl, and a wide variety of men’s and women’s active footwear featuring brands like Asics, Carhartt, Ariat, Much, Gander Mountain, Merrell, Rocky, Reebok, Reef, Keen, Irish Setter, Teva, New Balance, Timberland, LaCrosse, Skechers, Saucony and Under Armour.
Customers will also gain access to Gander Mountain’s selection of new and used firearms, whether the firearms are located at other stores, in central distribution facilities or on Gander Mountain’s market-leading online store. Customers have access to all of Gander Mountain’s firearms, equipment, merchandise, apparel and footwear by using simple online order kiosks with easy delivery and pick-up at their favorite Gander Mountain store.
