This is the back of the store in Thornton..
Rediculous. I could see that kind of madness if it was one of their huge super stores , but not what they built. I don't see the big draw. To me, it's just another outdoor retailer. Don't really see what will seperate them from bass pro and gander mountain. Besides their name, what's going to make their stores successful? I'm not a big shopper in any of the big outdoor stores, so I'm not all that edumacated in the subject. Been to bass pro 1 time and same with gander. Neat to look at, but service, product and price was nothing to persuade me to buy anything. M
I live about 1 minute from the Thornton store and I still won't go !!!
At least they open in 9 minutes. Although you might not make it in for another 2 hours.Quote:

Those lines are ridiculous! Never in a million years would I waste my time there. Crazy.
Time to open the doors!

I heard they have xm193 ammo for $9/box of 20.
Anyone need any pro gun petitions signed? That would be the place to be right now.
No way. I would not wait in that crowd to get inside ANY store.Quote:

Not only is it bad today, just imagine the chaos that it's going to be this weekend when the majority of people aren't at work. Both Cabela's locations are going to be packed for weeks.
Just out of spite I'm going to go spend my lunch hour at Bass Pro, haha. I bet there is about 10 people there right now.
Smarter than the average bear.Quote:

I went yesterday afternoon on the Cabelas club invitation thing they did and it was a fricken zoo then. I walked in, signed up for the 3 drawings they are doing, checked to see what they had for reloading components (jack squat except they did have quite a few primers on hand) and left. I won't set foot in there for probably a couple months until it settles down a bit.
Incidentally I had to go up through NE the night before and stopped in Sydney and they were just as well stocked and had about 15 cars in the lot got some primers at a decent price and no hassles.
I'd rather drive the extra 2 hours round trip to go to Sydney if I need something only they have vs dealing with the crowds.
You couldn't even pay me or give me free ammo to participate in that.
So I got called back into the office right as I was pulling up to Bass Pro, but they were packed too. I don't know if they put out specials for this weekend, or if everybody that wanted to go to Cabela's decided to hell with that and went to Bass Pro, but there was so many more cars in the lot than normal. I was kind of stunned.Quote:

The checkout line is beastly
I'm sure that's the understatement of the century. Glad you were able to make it out of there alive! HahaQuote:

Still in line....going past boat stuff now.....got half a store of line to go...yay
I was outside the Thornton location. Was insane.
Thanks to the forum member here, we decide not to "wait in line" to go to Cabela's. Instead, we decide to go to Sportmans' Warehouse at 84th & I25 to buy some ammo with TWO $10off for 50 purchase.
Thankfully, they had over 15 boxes of 223/556 PMC Bronze for $8.99, and SS197SR (5.7x28mm). We picked up 3 5.7x28 and 3 boxes of 223/556. We decided to buy 2 more boxes of 223, but it was already gone. Glad that we went to Sportsmen's and used two of the $10 off coupons. It was a fair deal. People at Sportsman's were talking about how crazy Cabelas' was, and they decide not to wait in line to buy stuff where they can buy at other retailers.
Before we went home, we decide to just check out how many people there are at Cabelas' Curiosity got me to just drive by inside the parking lot.
Here are some pictures.

Kinda reminds me of the idiots who camp out for the opening of a new Chick-Fil-A so they can get a damn free sandwich.
I'm here at the Lone Tree store right now with my two little boys. I have my green Free Colorado shirt on. Say hi if anyone sees me.
Plenty of parking and not too hard to get around. Can't comment on reloading supplies since I know nothing about it. They had a bunch of .223 in all kinds of brands though.
We got a bit of ammo...some clothing and just looked around a bit.
I wore my Free Colorado shirt, and got a few compliments on it.
Actually you get free Chick Fil A for a year. I've done it twice.Quote:

I will try the place out after christmas rush probably.
I totally don't understand folks camping out for the privilege of giving a retailer money. It makes me wonder how their time can be worth so little.
Yah Im with you on that. They were giving out gift certificates worth $25-$500 supposedly. I would have to be guaranteed and you need to add at least one zero to that number before I would be interested!Quote:
