Sportsman’s Warehouse coming to TC

June 23 – TRAVERSE CITY – Another hunting, fishing, camping and boating shop is coming to 3500 Marketplace Circle B.

A sign on the side of the building says Sportsman’s Warehouse is coming soon. A separate banner near the entrance says the sporting goods retailer is hiring.

Sportsman’s Warehouse is headquartered in Midvale, Utah and operates 111 stores in 27 states.

A Traverse City store manager vacancy was posted on June 18. The announcement ends on August 18th.

A phone message left at Sportsman’s Warehouse headquarters was not returned. Two email responses from the company did not confirm a business is coming to Traverse City.

“We are constantly checking regional markets for the possibility of opening retail locations. Please visit our website at https://investors.sportsmans.com/ for recently announced locations, ”read the email response from Sportsman’s Warehouse customer support team.

The company lists three stores in Michigan: Lansing (8757 Delta Drive), Kalamazoo (5215 Century Ave.), and Troy (750 W. 14 Mile Road).

The location of the planned Sportsman’s Warehouse store was formerly a Gander Mountain and later a Gander Outdoors.

Gander Mountain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in March 2017 and announced it would close 32 underperforming stores, as previously reported.

The store in Traverse City was not on the list of planned closings at the time.

In May 2017, a large “Going out of Business” sign was placed on the south side of the Gander Mountain Store. On either side of the main entrance to the Buffalo Ridge Center were people with large posters that said, “Going out of business. Everything has to go.

A subsidiary of Camping World bought the Gander Mountain brand and leased the existing Gander Mountain stores in a bankruptcy auction on April 28th.

Gander Outdoors opened in March 2018 at the Traverse City location. The closure of this store was announced in November 2019.
