 Well, still no definite word on if Gander Mountain stores in Bemidji and Baxter will be closing. The new owner of the Gander Mountain Company, Marcus Lamanis, said on Sunday he plans to keep open on about 70 stores. Now Gander Mountain operates 162 stores in the U.S. and many of them are advertising going out of business liquidation sales like this store in Bemidji. Lamanis says even stores with closing signs in their windows may remain open. He says all stores are liquidating their inventory but not all stores are closing. Gander Mountain operates 12 stores in Minnesota and as of 6.30 tonight Lamanis announced 61 stores that will remain open including Minnesota stores in Hermantown, Forest Lake and Lakeville as well as the store in Fargo, North Dakota. No word on the fate of the Baxter or Bemidji store. Lamanis says more stores which will remain open will be named tomorrow.
