Cabela’s continues Canadian expansion

Sidney, Neb. -- Cabela’s Inc. will open a 50,000-sq.-ft. store in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Upon opening, it will become the first Cabela’s location in Nova Scotia and second in Atlantic Canada, joining the Moncton, New Brunswick store opened in May.



The retailer expects construction on the store to begin in 2016, and anticipates a 2017 opening. It will be located in the Dartmouth Crossing development near the intersection of Lakeview Drive and Wright Avenue. North American Development is the developer.



The store will be built in the company’s new Cabela’s Canada layout, designed to offer customers an immersive outdoor experience with log construction, stonework, dozens of wildlife displays and museum-quality taxidermy mounts, vintage outdoor photos and memorabilia, hand-painted murals and an indoor archery range.



In addition to thousands of outdoor products, the store will host educational seminars and demonstrations, offering tips and insights on outdoor products and activities.



Cabela’s Canada was established in 2007 with a store and headquarters for Canadian operations in Winnipeg, Manitoba. In 2010, the company opened its current corporate headquarters and call center in Winnipeg.



Currently, Cabela’s Canada operates eight stores and has announced plans to open an additional four.
