NILES, Ohio - The new owner of Gander Mountain outdoor stores tweeted on Monday that he intends to keep the Niles location in operation.

Marcus Lemonis, Chairman, and CEO of Camping World tweeted a list of 62 Gander Mountain stores that he says will remain in operation.

In a bankruptcy sale, Camping World bought the Gander Mountain name and leases to the existing 160 stores including the building at the Eastwood Mall Complex in Niles.

When the deal was finalized last week, Lemonis announced that he only had an obligation to keep 17 stores open.

Since then, Lemonis has been using his Twitter account to answer questions from employees, customers, and others about his intentions.

On Sunday, Lemonis posted a four-minute video announcing that he expected to keep 70 or more stores open, once the current inventory is depleted through a current liquidation sale.

On Monday, Lemonis continued his tweets updating the list of stores that he says will remain in operation.

The last tweet posted Monday night listed 62 stores, including the Eastwood location, that Lemonis intends to keep.

He also noted that he would name more stores on Tuesday.

Customers who have visited Gander Mountain stores since last week may have been confused by the sight of "Going Out of Business" sales while hearing reports that some stores may be kept open.

The Gander Mountain store on Niles Cortland Road is relatively new, only having opened in March of last year.
