One thing that has annoyed me is a recent, and my last ever, trip to Gander Mountain. Walked in and saw 22 ammo on the shelf. Asked for 2 boxes and was told by the person behind the counter ..... That they only sold 22 ammo to people who also buy a 22 firearm from them.
Prior to this I had been mailed their sales flyers and was at the door when they opened for said sale. Walked straight to the firearms section to buy a 1600 round pack of CCI 22 ammo. They didn’t have what the sales flyer said they did yet they bait people in with such, then later tell me I have to purchase a 22 firearm before they will sell me ammo they have on the shelf...
Wasn’t like I wanted to buy all the ammo. I asked to buy 2 of the 100 round CCI boxes when they gave me the “must buy a gun” caveat .......
My last trip ever to a gander mountain .
My experience and observation and opinion .....
They are doing what a good merchant will do during a shortage....
Making sure the customers that buy a weapon can also purchase ammo...very understandable...
Gander Mountain routinely does that.
Have a listed price online and get to the store different price, or have a price listed on the shelf then when you get to the checkout it’s a different price.
I don’t have a problem causing a “bit of a ruckus” in the store to get the advertised price.
Wow... Sorry to hear this. We swore off Gander Mountain some time back. We decided that the only thing we were going to use them for was to simply see what was available... and never to buy anything from them.... mainly because their prices are high and they advertise things that they might, or might not have in stock. Frustrating!
