 Inventory liquidation sales are now underway at all Gander Mountain store locations that include stores like this one in Bemidji and also one in Brainer. Stories will continue to honor Gander Mountain gift cards until May 18th. The liquidation sales will end when all merchandise has been sold, but that doesn't necessarily mean those stores are closing all together. Gander Mountain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on March 10th. Store officials referred our questions to the corporate level where the company's CEO spent much of Thursday and Friday responding to questions from people on Twitter including some employees about the fate of individual Gander Mountain stores. It's unclear if some stores may reopen under a different brand name.
