TAMPA-Outdoor retailer Gander Mountain announced today that it will soon begin renovations at the former Best Buy store on West Hillsborough Avenue here.
The store at 11655 West Hillsborough Ave. will be Gander Mountain's first on the west coast of Florida and its sixth in the state. An official grand opening will likely take place sometime this fall.
The St. Paul, MN-based retailer will convert the approximately 34,000 square feet of space into a superstore that will feature items for fishing, boating, camping and hunting, as well as a large firearms shop, according to the Tampa Tribune.
“Gander Mountain has been a well-known and trusted name in the Sunshine State among those who love the outdoors, and who enjoy great traditions like hunting, fishing, hiking, boating and camping,” said David Pratt, Gander Mountain's president and CEO. “We are thrilled to bring a new Gander Mountain store to the Tampa Bay metro area, and give more of our friends in the Gulf Coast region opportunities to experience our top-quality gear and knowledgeable service at great prices.” See story in the Tampa Tribune.
