WICHITA, Kansas – Ground was broke this morning on the new Cabela’s at K-96 and Greenwich Rd.
The 80,000 square-foot store is expected to open in the first half of 2012.
That is good news to me I live close to the store.Whats so nice is knowing I can now shop at Cabelas and don't have to pay shipping plus sales tax.
I placed a order last week from Bass Pro a $65 order was over $10 shipping plus sales tax.It was over $15 total.
Can't wait..
1 mile from our newly built (last October) home.....My wife if freaking out! haha. She jokes with me that we're going to have to move to the west side of Wichita to get me further from the store. Of course, that Target right there is just about as much trouble for her as the Cabelas for me!
Agreed on the shipping!
Shane you will most likely be there on a regular basis shopping and working for lowranceQuote:

Can't wait neither....
Wonder how it's going to affect the other sporting good stores in Wichita. And if Cabelas does well, will Bass Pro try to put a store on the west side of town.
Yeah I bet it's going to hurt Gander Mtn. some. The city had there chance to get Bass Pro but chose to go with Gander Mtn.to save money.I bet now they wish they would have went with BP.Quote:

You can say that for bass tackle too. Maybe only walleye fisherman have a better selection at Cabelas. Still I end up going to both as Cabelas will carry a few things that BP doesn't like the crappie pro stuff, but BPS has the garland mo glos too. If I hunted I would spend way more time at Cabelas.Quote:

Like River said, it's always slow everytime you go in there. They are supposed to be remodeling, but I don't think that will really change it that much. Hurry up Cabelas!
I usually stop in to Gander just for minnows, they are cheapest that i know of in town, plus usually a good minnow count if you get the right guy. Zeiner pro shop is good also for minnows, just depends what time and where I am around town to where i go.
I think your right there, been in there a couple times and overall I think they're a little steep on prices. I know they have some good sale prices occasionally. I trade with Zeiners a lot more, they have some good deals on bulk plastics and they're the cheapest in the USA on Do-It molds. Honestly, I don't want to go to a amusement park, I wanna go to a tackle store.Quote:

I wish I could name all of the sporting goods stores geared towards fishing start and go out of business. I personally like Gander Mountain but I'm more of a walleye fisherman. I like their selections. But you're right, that place is never busy. Maybe around Christmas. The only reason I see Gander surviving as long as they have is because of the tax breaks they received from Wichita. It would be nice if both Gander and Cabelas could survive together but I think it's doubtful. Since I moved to Olathe a year ago, I live 10 minutes from Bass Pro and 20 minutes from Cabelas. But I live 3.5 to 4.5 hours from the lakes I know well.
