Ground has finally broken and construction is underway at the new Gander Mountain store location in Frisco, which will be completed this fall. The chain retailer offers hunting, fishing and camping gear, plus boating and automotive needs.

The company announced the opening of the new store in Feb. 2015 and had planned for an opening later that fall. However, because of delays the company had to push back construction and the opening date.

The store will be 60,000 square feet and located within Eldorado Marketplace on the northeast corner of Eldorado Parkway and Dallas North Tollway. The store will be the 22nd Gander Mountain in Texas and the 5th in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

"We appreciate the warm welcome we have received from the community of Frisco and we look forward to the grand opening of our most recent Texas store this fall," said Eric Jacobsen, Gander Mountain's executive vice president and director of real estate, in a statement. "The project is well underway and on track for a family friendly grand opening weekend featuring live music, celebrities, giveaways and kids' activities that the community can enjoy."
