WASHINGTON 鈥斅燨utdoor retailer Gander Mountain, which closed all 120 of its stores last May and was bought out of bankruptcy by Camping World Holdings, has started reopening stores under the new name Gander Outdoors.

The former Fredericksburg, Virginia, Gander Mountain will reopen as a Gander Outdoors store sometime in mid-January or February, according to Camping World Holdings.

Marcus Lemonis, star of CNBC’s “The Profit,” is chairman of Camping World Holdings.

“It was important to me to bring the Gander Outdoors back to the wonderful community of Fredericksburg because the employees were top notch and the store was a great performer,” Lemonis said.

Lemonis has said the goal is to reopen as many as 70 former Gander Mountain locations as Gander Outdoors, subject to acceptable lease terms.

“In addition to the Fredericksburg location, we are currently pursuing other locations for reopening and expansion and expect to announce additional locations and markets in coming weeks.”

Several other locations are also reopening, with most that make the cut opening by the end of May or middle of June, according to a

Several days after an arbitrator ordered the Washington Post to reinstate fired opinion writer Karen Attiah, she told 蜜桃视频app she's still hasn't gotten a phone call about returning to work. "I'm waiting to hear from the Washington Post as of this morning," Attiah said. "I'm willing to go back to the work that I was doing as a columnist and as a writer particularly focused on race, gender and international rights." A Thursday ruling by arbitrator Sarah Miller Espinosa said the newspaper did not have sufficient cause to fire Attiah over social media posts about violent white men following last year's killing of Charlie Kirk, and ordered the Post to award Attiah full back pay and lost benefits. "So, the Washington Post has its marching orders, let's see if they follow them," said Attiah, who described her reaction to arbitrator's ruling as "vindicated, slightly tired, really happy about the decision and reinstatement, plus back pay, of course."
