Gander Mountain to Open Arlington Store

Gander Mountain is adding a new location in Texas, set to open in the spring of 2014. The new Arlington door will be the fifth new Gander Mountain store to open in Texas in the past year, and will represent its 16th in the state.

The Arlington store will be located in a new 52,000-square-foot space in the Highlands East Shopping Center, near the intersection of I-20 and Matlock Road.

“For many years, Gander Mountain has been a well-known and trusted name in Texas among those who love the outdoors, and who enjoy great traditions like hunting, fishing, hiking, boating and camping,” said David Pratt, Gander Mountain’s president and CEO. “We are thrilled to bring a new Gander Mountain store to the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, and give more of our friends in Texas opportunities to experience our top-quality gear and knowledgeable service at great prices.”
