Gander Mountain – Opelika Store

The two guys that helped me were absolutely wonderful. Aaron Swenson and James Pickard. I found the rifle I was looking at in another store for a cheaper price and Aaron matched the cheaper price with no haggling or hassle. Aaron then asked me if I needed a scope, ammo, and extra magazines. I didn’t need ammo but he showed me a scope and scope mounts that were in my budget and then price matched the extra magazines (also found the magazines cheaper somewhere else). He then offered to mount my scope for me which I was not expecting at all. I have worked in retail for years and have even been a sales manager for a major retail store and I was blown away at the level of service I recieved here. I felt that I was very well taken care of and all my concerns were handled and my expectations were exceeded.
The bottom line is that I spent over $ 100.00 than I intended on paying and still left happy. What more can I say? Good job Aaron and James. Keep it up.
Another thing is that I live in Phenix City, Al. There are gun stores all around where I live but I drove 30 – 45 minutes to Opelika because Aaron said he would price match over the phone and I didn’t like the service I recieved in my local area. I’m glad I made the extra drive. It was worth it.

Tons of items. Need more employees around the store. Cheaper than Bass Pro Shops but never have anybody in there (only 5 cars in Parking lot)

My boss and I stopped by here on our way back from a business trip to an automobile assembling plant. The address is a little off, as it directed us to go the opposite direction once we got off the correct exit. We turn back around and it was pretty easy to find from there. The store is pretty big and reminds me of Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna, GA. They have a pretty decent stock on hand guns, rifles, and ammo but surprisingly, the prices weren’t much lower here than other stores. They also have a decent selection of clothes (both kids and adults). Found some kids’ Northface jackets for really cheap! +1 for being small. :)
