Marcus Lemonis, star of CNBC’s The Profit, bought Gander Mountain assets in bankruptcy court in May 2017 and is beginning to reopen many of the chain’s stores. Gander Outdoors is owned by Camping World Holdings.
“We look forward to seeing large crowds across the country as we continue the next phase of reopening Gander retail stores,” said Lemonis, chairman of Camping World Holdings. “We are excited to continue expanding our outdoor industry footprint, while supporting economic growth across the country.”
