Stopped in at the local Gander today. Signs in the gun department stating that firearms and ammunition are not part of the clearance. I troll through several times a year, and always make note of a few prices on expendables I use. I would say the prices on those items were marked UP at least 30% for the "clearance".
The store was festooned in a minimum of $30,000 in signage for the event. "Huge Reductions", Out of Business Forever", Major Markdowns", blah,blah, blah.
I'd bet most of the stuff ends up at Sportsmans Warehouse after Gander has managed to gouge what they can from those lured in from the publicity. I'd bet that was arranged weeks ago, in fact.
I won't be back.
Best,
Ted
