So... good news everyone! GANDER MOUNTAIN IS COMING BACK! Not only were these people friends of ours and close by and handy for whatever you needed but they where a company that offered over 70 jobs to this area! It looks like those jobs will be available for hard working hands again! The store was forced closed when the flooding in the Southern Tier did massive amounts of damage and claimed thousands of dollars in merchandise.

“It was a sad day when flooding forced our Johnson City store to close a few years ago, so this is a great day for Gander Mountain, for those who love the outdoors, and who enjoy great traditions like hunting, fishing, hiking, boating and camping,” said David Pratt, Gander Mountain’s Chairman and CEO

It's great to see local business come back to our hometown. Hopefully Gander Mountain will give all of you haven't found a place in the working world yet after the flood will have a chance to re-claim your old job, and there are some open positions for those in desperate need of income as well.
