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.
