I would have to conclude after my state retail tour that Gander Mountain as a chain has the 3rd best selection by area of all the stores that I visited. Each store tries to cater to the angler in their area, and their wants and needs. If I had to pick their top two stores in Michigan, it would fall on the store in Coldwater, and then Port Huron/Ft Gratiot near Lake St. Clair and the St. Clair River.
Coldwater really stepped up and had one their nicest displays. Bulk stacks of product, knowledgeable staff and everything in one central location. Port Huron was a close second, display area was slightly smaller, but the staff was top notch, and they had everything the local angler could want for perch, which rules LSC during the winter. Even the Taylor store which still had product coming in, as they were one of my first stops, had a decent display with their limited amount of room.
