I stopped in the Evansville store last night. The doors were broken, signage through the store was in rough shape, and most noticeably, a lack of people shopping.
Was at the Evansville store today, and the entrance doors were still broke. The main reason I went in was because of a big banner outside that said 50% off. I did not see any firearms, or ammo on sale. Not very many people working.
Chapter 7 is liquidation and sale of all assets, personal or business. Chapter 11 is business reorganization, lowering debt, rejecting leases and contracts and restructuring a company's financial structure. If an 11 fails, next step is usually a Ch 7. Chapter 13 is a personal bankruptcy for reorganization of personal debt most often used to try to save a house that is usually underwater and the owner is behind on his mortgage and most likely facing foreclosure and usually with heavy credit card debt. If the 13 fails it then usually ends up as a Ch 7. Gander will probably attempt a Ch 11 first, then if all else fails conversion to Ch 7 and sale/liquidate. Enjoy!I didnt see it in the article which type of bankruptcy they were filing chapter 7 liquidate, or 13 to restructure their debt.

Sad. I hate to see people lose their jobs. I enjoyed stopping in on occasion, if nothing more than to look around. Good deals could be had when items were on sale.
GM uses an electronic system to manage their 4473s. You step up to a kiosk and fill out the 4473 using what appears to be a web-based app. To the customer, there is no paper, just electronic records waiting to be hacked by someone.I bet the ATF can't wait to get ahold of those millions of 4473's if they go under.

I agree about knowing exactly what you want and knowing what it should cost. However, I'm not a fan of price matching. If a LGS has what I want in stock for a price I'm OK with, I'll spend my money at the LGS. The only time I do price matching for anything is when I'd rather buy it from that store, and with GM that ain't ever gonna happen....Bottom line, I cannot see any reason to shop at GM unless you know exactly what you want, have a price you want them to match on your chosen item, and want to handle the unit before you ask them to price match.
I still believe the biggest obstacle to sales is hiding the long guns behind the counter where one cannot see the make, model or price. With that set-up I cannot identify any of the pieces, or assess them in any way without knowing in advance what I want. They did have a good selection of used long guns on display which could be handled, including an interesting SKS complete with bayonet and a Winchester .22LR that looked well aged-by someone who knew how to take care of it. Of course, all were priced like new items.
