Gander Mountain has got the gear to get you out of the office and up the mountain. The company operates about 120 outdoor sporting goods stores focused on a variety of outdoor activities, such as hunting, camping, and fishing, in some two dozen states. In addition to outdoor equipment and related accessories, the stores also sell apparel and footwear. While Gander Mountain has sold fishing and pontoon boats since 2007 through an arrangement with Tracker Marine Group, a unit of Bass Pro Shops, the retailer exited its all terrain vehicle (ATV) and boat categories by 2010. Founded in 1960 as an outdoor catalog operation, Gander Mountain went private in early 2010.
