Gander Mountain Corporate Office

Gander Mountain was founded in 1960 by Robert Sturgis, an avid outdoorsman who was disappointed that he was unable to find quality hunting and fishing equipment in his small town of Wilmont, Wisconsin. He began a mail order catalog business which grew very quickly. Unfortunately, the Federal law passed in 1968 outlawed the sale of mail order guns, which lead Gander Mountain to revamp their focus.

Gander Mountain opened their first retail store in 1996, The success of this company has allowed it to open 115 stores in 22 states. The company operates retail stores which focus on outdoor clothing and footwear, hunting, fishing, and camping equipment, along with knives, new and used guns, ammunition, flashlights, lasers, optics, holsters, and personal defense products such as pepper spray.
