GREENFIELD — Gander Outdoors continued a tradition of honoring present and past members of our armed forces by installing a massive American flag at its Greenfield, Indiana retail store.
The 40 feet x 80 feet flag, which covers 3,200 square feet, flies on a 130-foot-tall pole and was installed as part of a project that Camping World Holdings began in February of 2014 to show their ongoing appreciation of America’s first responders, veterans and active military members. Gander Outdoors is owned by Camping World Holdings and is dedicated to servicing the hunting, camping, fishing, shooting, and active sports markets with outdoor products and services that are competitively priced.
“It has been our vision to continue the tradition of raising these flags to show our company’s support and appreciation to our country and to those that have sacrificed so much to keep our communities safe,” said Marcus Lemonis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Camping World and host of CNBC’s The Profit. “We love bringing together our local communities to celebrate our great country and the brave men and women who have fought for us and will continue raising these flags in other markets in the coming months.”
The retail store is located at 2175 Barrett Drive, and the official flag raising ceremony was held at 9 a.m. Saturday. The ceremony was attended by community officials and local volunteers. All local public service and safety members, military, veterans and community members were also welcome to attend this event honoring the U.S. Armed Forces.
Currently, the massive American flag flies high at over 90 Camping World RV SuperCenters and are being erected at Gander Outdoor locations across the country.
