I was surprised to see CW in Madison WI changed its name to Gander RV.
Why would a company change its brand like that?
When I had a retail store. Changing its name never came into my thought process.
Many reasons to change a name. But I think the biggest reason the name is changed is to hopefully make people forget something bad about the old name.
I live in Minnesota summers. No sportsman I know like gander Mtn , or whatever they call themselves these days
It's Gander Outdoors, and try as he might Marcus Lemonis will never amount to a pimple on Johnny Morris's rear end when it comes to hawking outdoor equipment. Lemonis bought a bankrupt run down outdoor retailer, Morris bought Cabelas LOL.
Where they reopened the Gander Mountain stores they intend on also selling RV's at 40 locations.
THIS SUCKS
What this means for the RV buying public is potentially higher prices in those markets, more terrible service, and more mom and pop dealerships out of the picture. At least that's the plan. IMO the whole house of cards is going to come tumbling down at some point.
