In early January, Camping World announced it is beginning to reopen many of the Gander Outdoors stores to serve customers. Following months of negotiations and remodeling existing locations, the company plans to open 69 locations by May 2018.

No local stores will reopen this spring, but Gander Mountains is currently “pursuing more locations for expansion and expects to announce additional locations and markets in the near term.” Two stores in Ohio — in Mentor and Niles — will reopen by May.
