Company officials expect that a new, larger Gander Mountain store will be up and running in the Eastwood Mall Complex by next spring.

The outdoor outfitter announced on Wednesday that it expects to complete the demolition of the existing store off Route 46 and rebuild an expanded retail space at the same location by the spring of 2016.

The new Gander Mountain will be located in a new 61,300 foot facility, which is nearly twice the size of the existing store.

The current store, which opened in 1999, is temporarily moving operations across the parking lot to another space in the Howland Commons shopping center while the new store is under construction.
