I'm glad to say that I worked at Gander before they went down the shitter (ba-dum-ching!)
When I worked there it was still Hunt Fish Camp, they actually employed people who knew about the departments they worked in instead of hiring kids who will work for cheap, and weren't trying to out size every other store in the 4 state area. I'm telling you, it all started when Mark Baker took over and tried his Home Depot philosophy on the sporting goods market.
