Sidney, Neb. — Cabela’s Inc. plans to enter three new markets in 2015 and 2016. The retailer will open new stores in Ammon, Idaho; Short Pump, Va.; and Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.
Construction is scheduled to begin later in 2014 on the Ammon store and Cabela’s plans to open the location in spring 2015.

Cabela’s expects the store to employ approximately 90 full-time and part-time employees, most of whom will come from Ammon and the surrounding area.
The Ammon store will be designed with a rugged look and feel and offer seasonal product assortments. In addition the store also will feature museum-quality wildlife displays, digital signage, an indoor archery range and archery tech room, gun counter and more.
Customers will have access to all Cabela’s merchandise via online order kiosks, as well as free shipping with an in-store pickup program. In-store pickup allows customers to order Cabela’s gear ahead of time and pick it up at their convenience at the store of their choice.
