Marion Announces Retail Development

A national outdoor retailer is coming to Marion.

Gander Mountain announced it'll build a store near Rent One Park, with an expected opening in the spring of 2015.

Gander Mountain already has a store in Paducah, Kentucky. The closest Illinois outlet is in Springfield.

Marion Mayor Bob Butler says he was happy to share the news that the 52-thousand square foot store would be coming to his community.

Butler has been advocating for development on what's known as "The Hill" for many years.
 

Jennifer Fuller joined Capitol News Illinois in July 2023 as the organization’s broadcast director. She will oversee the launch and operations of CNI’s new broadcast division.
