Cabela’s continues to expand

Cabela’s Inc. announced plans to expand to open two new stores, including its first-ever location in New Mexico.



The hunting and fishing retailer will open a 70,000-sq.-ft. store at Legacy at Journal Center, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 2017.



The store will offer customers an immersive outdoor experience with a 360-degree mountain and wildlife-display feature, dozens of taxidermy mounts, vintage outdoor photos and memorabilia, and a regionally specific theme.



Additionally, the store will include an archery and firearm tech room, indoor archery range and Bargain Cave, along with thousands of outdoor products displayed using Cabela’s new layout that dedicates more square footage of floor space to the company’s core areas in hunting, fishing, camping and recreational shooting.



The new layout also will allow a more flexible product assortment as outdoor activities change throughout the year, resulting in more in-season and regionally specific gear.



In addition, Cabela’s will open a 90,000-sq.-ft. store in Chesterfield Township, Michigan, also in 2017, which is about 30 miles northeast of Detroit. Upon opening, it will become Cabela’s fourth location in Michigan.



The store also will offer Cabela’s unique, outdoor experience and feature the company’s new floor plan, offering a regionally specific theme and product assortment.
