Outdoor specialty store Gander Mountain has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and is looking for a buyer as it closes 32 of its 162 stores over the next few weeks.

Gander Mountain’s Scenic Highway location in Gwinnett County will close, the company announced.

The store is one of 32 nationwide that will shutter after Gander Mountain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Two other Georgia locations — one in Augusta and one in McDonough — will also close.

A manager could not give specific details about when the Snellville location would shut its doors for good or whether there would be any liquidation sales. The retailer sells outdoor supplies, including products for hunting, fishing and boating.

The Snellville location is closing only a year and a half after opening. Its doors first opened in October 2015.
