FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Cabela's Inc. Announces Plans for Charleston, W.Va., Store

Construction to begin in early 2012; anticipated opening in summer 2012

SIDNEY, Neb. (July 28, 2011) - Cabela's Incorporated (NYSE: CAB), the World's Foremost Outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, announced today plans to bring the Cabela's retail experience to customers in Charleston, W.Va., and the surrounding area.

Cabela's expects to open the Charleston store in summer of 2012. The 80,000-square-foot store will be located in the Southridge Centre shopping area off U.S. Highway 119, and will be Cabela's second retail store in West Virginia, joining the Wheeling location.

The building's exterior will reflect Cabela's traditional store model with log construction, stonework, wood siding and metal roofing. A large glass storefront will allow customers to view much of the store's interior as they approach the building.

The inside will highlight the company's next-generation layout, which is designed to immerse customers in the outdoor experience and includes conservation-themed wildlife displays and trophy animal mounts displayed on a mountain with a built-in aquarium. The store will also feature a Gun Library, Bargain Cave and Fudge Shop. Construction is expected to start in early 2012.

"West Virginians are dedicated outdoorspeople and loyal Cabela's customers," said Cabela's Chief Executive Officer Tommy Millner. "People throughout the state have been Cabela's customers for decades and it's because of their passion for outdoor recreation that we're able to make our goods and services even more accessible to the area's hunters, anglers and campers."

Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, Cabela's opened stores in Allen, Texas, April 14 and Springfield, Ore., May 4. In August, the company will open a store in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Cabela's has also announced plans to build stores in Wichita, Kan., and Tulalip, Wash., as well as Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, all expected to open in 2012.

Showcasing thousands of products, including hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, boating and wildlife-watching gear, as well as outdoor clothing and outdoor-themed gifts and furnishings, Cabela's is famous for its strong brand and world-renowned reputation for delivering quality merchandise, value and legendary customer service.

Cabela's typically attracts experienced outdoor recreationalists as employees, who join the Cabela's family of employees known for their excellent customer service skills and detailed knowledge of outdoor products.

Southridge Centre shopping area also includes Walmart, Sam's Club and The Home Depot as well as several restaurants, a post office and AAA Travel Services.

I sure wish they would open one up here in GA.  90% of my outdoor business is done with Cabelas through the internet.  I have a Bass prop Shops less than 5 minutes from my office and I would still rather do business with Cableas.  The only time I go to BP is if I needed something yesterday.

There's one in St. Louis, MO.  I went to it earlier this year.  It's a very nice store.  I love Cabelas.  One of my favorite stores.

20 minutes from my house. Probably not a good thing. Could result in lower quality living conditions. Haha

Send a letter with 10 million signatures from the southern states and I think they might accomodate your wish if each of you say was to sign an agreement that you will spend $250 a yr minimum.   :icon_thumright:
