A company statement says the stores will begin closing in coming weeks, but it doesn’t give a date for the shutdowns.

The Minnesota-based company is blaming the closings on changing consumer patterns linked to online merchandising.

Gander Mountain sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization on Friday. The company has stores in 26 states.
