And another in Bozeman, MT...
If rumor of all these new stores are true, I have to think they may be over-stepping a sound business plan, or ditching the model that got them where they are today.
Retailing trends are going exactly the other direction (towards catalogues, albeit online) that Cabela's made its first fortune on. The overhead and labor force for their impressive but massive stores has got to be gawd-aweful.
It wouldn't surprise me in the least if 80% of these rumors never come true...but I see retail heading towards larger bax stores and stores that ALSO have a catalog/web presense...i.e. cabelas.
If it worked for Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, Sears, etc the "giant store located central to a population center" model seems to work.
