Cabela's Plans New Minn. Store

SIDNEY, NE-The outdoors retailer will bring one of its destination stores to suburban Minneapolis.

SIDNEY, NE-For most major retail chains, opening merely one new store isn’t that big a deal. For Cabela’s, it is, because the renowned hunting and outdoors outfitter’s stores are well-known destinations in their own right, in some cases among a state’s top tourist draws.

Cabela’s has unveiled plans for its next facility, a 185,000-sf destination/entertainment outdoor gear store in Rogers, MN, about 10 miles northwest of Minneapolis near I-94 and Minnesota 101. The superstore, which the company says would be the largest outdoor sports store in the state, is slated for opening late this fall or early in the spring of 2006. It would be Cabela’s third store in Minnesota. Cabela’s opened a 159,000-sf store in Owatonna in 1998 and a 59,000-sf store in East Grand Forks in 1999.

“Our market research showed that Rogers is an ideal location, and such a great opportunity that it makes sense for us to add a third store in the state,” says Dennis Highby, Cabela’s president and CEO, who also happens to be a native Minnesotan. “Minnesota continues to be a large and growing market for us, including the thousands of hunters and anglers who travel to and through Minnesota each year.”
