I love Gander Mountain
But every time something on sale I miss it
Because I live to far away this store in
Monroeville is one mile from my house
Thank you

Edward Karluk

Monroeville needs a retail store that sells firearms and supples. We have a Dicks and Dunhams in Monroeville but Dicks and Dunhams are totally inept when it comes to firearms.

I can’t wait for the grand opening. I spend a lot of time at the Greensburg store, great brands and awesome selections. Wouldn’t want any thing else!

Jen

I wish this store was literally ANYTHING ELSE.
