Does anyone know when the new Cabelas stores are opening? Cabelas had said spring 2013, now it just says 2013. It will be cool to have one on both ends of town.

Does anyone know when the new Cabelas stores are opening? Cabelas had said spring 2013, now it just says 2013. It will be cool to have one on both ends of town.
I heard their plan is to open in August.
Just passed Cabelas. It's open now.
Oh, wait. I just passed through Kaerney.
Sorry, I have no idea. Maybe a few of the people who applied for jobs there know for sure.
I heard they pushed it back 2-3 months so Aug sounds about right.
I go past the site often. As of yesterday, the sign out front said "Summer 2013".Quote:

My parents are coming out from Omaha at the end of the month, my Dad wants to shoot, I told him he needs to bring ammo. They live about 3 miles from Cabelas in LaVista and that Cabelas is pretty well stocked with ammo. 9, 40, 45 at non panic prices and as much as you want. 223 in stock but a bit above non panic prices. I am sure it is because it is Nebraska (no real panic going on) vs. being a Cabelas.
I don't know, but I'm fixing to put in yet another application to the one in Lone Tree. That's only 5-6 miles from home, would be a great place to work.

Lone Tree location is expected to be August 15. Hiring 200
They seem to get reloading stuff in when others can't. Driving to Milliken to get stuff sure kills a day although they (Elk Bomb) are really hard to beat with know how and pricing. All I need is primers, powder and projectiles....
So now two Cabelas in Denver. I can see it now... we don't have that in stock here but the south store has it. The Lone Tree store is 20,000 sf larger roughly that the one up north. Next to come is two more Bass Pro Shops one north of the springs and one in Loveland. I think the brand and allure of theses stores will be diluted in the Denver market. They will now become a basic store like Gander Mountain or Sportsman Warehouse- nothing really special about them. When I travel if a Bass Pro or Cabelas is near by we stop and check out the store, somewhat of a destination on our travels. I am glad to see A Cabelas in the Denver metro area but don't think we need two stores. Will miss the drive to Sidney though....nevermind the mother-in-law lives up there so I will still be making that drive.
Just had a guy doing his finally interview over there for management in archery. He said they told him it will definitely be the "Spring", maybe the "start" of Summer. Not as long out as August. He didn't give an actual date since he didn't have one given to him, either.
i wonder if the website for the development where Cabelas is going has an idea when they're going to open?Quote:

Yeah, the website only said "Spring 2013"...but I haven't checked in like...quite a while.
Are they still hiring for the Thornton store?
Not soon enough!! IMHO.
I want to be a professional gear tester/hunter for cabelas. Wonder if I can get that?
If you're a vet they are a hiring preference. LMK and i can e-m you the info.Quote:

Im not sure the exact day. I just HOPE and PRAY they have better customer service than Gander, DICKS, and Bass-Pro! What am I writing about?
ANY other business on planet Earth has better customer service than Gander, DICKS, or Bass-Pro! I don't know about you guys but, I absolutley hate going up to the counter in any of those stores. Especially in the gun departments. THEY BLOW! I think those companies intentionally higher the most worthless person to help you.
Well considering spring isn't even here yet, its gotta be months out. Spring to them may be 2 months of no snow. I myself will be glad to see them open. Bass Pro will have to actually treat customers with respect at the gun counter, well actually, who cares I won't go back there again in Stapleton. Last time I went there, the gun counter treated everyone like dirt, and the place reminded me of walmart, with all the circus freaks wandering the place.
I drive by it everyday as I live close. They had the chandeliers hanging and turned on last night.
Yeah, I've noticed that a lot. Nothing pisses me off more than walking up to a counter, seeing several employees look right at me, and then watching them go right back to bullshitting and ignore me! I've never worked retail, but Goddammnit, give me a chance and at least I'll wait on the customers!!!Quote:

Searched for, and hadn't seen this posted here, so here is Cabelas recent press release about the Lone Tree and Thornton stores:
Cabela's Announces Opening Date of Thornton and Lone Tree, Colo., Stores
Ribbon-cuttings scheduled for 10:45 a.m.; doors to open at 11 a.m.
http://www.cabelas.com/assets/cms/im...oneTree_CO.gif
SIDNEY, Neb. (June 17, 2013) Cabela's Incorporated, the World's Foremost Outfitter® of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, will celebrate the official grand opening of its two Denver-area locations – Thornton and Lone Tree – Thursday, Aug. 15.
Ribbon-cutting ceremonies hosted by Cabela's executives and special guests will begin at 10:45 a.m. at each location and doors will open for business at 11 a.m. Opening day will begin a weekend-long celebration featuring outdoor celebrities, events for the entire family, giveaways and more.
The Lone Tree store will be located in Douglas County south of Denver in the new RidgeGate Commons development along Interstate 25 at RidgeGate Parkway, about a mile south of Park Meadows Mall. The 110,000-square-foot store will employ approximately 200 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees.
The Thornton store will be located north of Denver in a new retail development along Interstate 25 at 144th Avenue. The new development will be located on the southeast quadrant of the interchange and is being developed by Thornton Development, LLC. The 90,000-square-foot store will employ approximately 175 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees.
The stores' interiors are built in Cabela's next-generation format designed to surround customers in the outdoor experience. The exteriors reflect Cabela's popular store model with log construction, stonework, wood siding, a large glass storefront and metal roofing.
In addition to thousands of quality outdoor products, the stores feature a gabled entry facade, fireplace, Gun Library, Bargain Cave, Fudge Shop and mountain replica featuring North American game animals re-created in their natural habitat.
Currently, Cabela's operates 44 stores across North America with plans to open an additional 16 over the next two years. The Thornton and Lone Tree stores will be Cabela's second and third in Colorado, joining the Grand Junction location opened in 2010. The company also operates a digital innovation office in Westminster.
The Thornton store looks tiny compared to the Lonetree, I will sneak out of work opening day to be at the Lonetree store.
Who opens a store on a frickin' Thursday?
The Grand Junction Cabela's store is a great addition. I've been a long time Cabela's mail order customer but was reluctant to order their hunting clothes. It makes a big difference when you can see the product in the store. I've spent a lot of $$$ on hunting & winter clothes at the Cabela's here in the past 3 years. If you're patient and work the sales you can get great deals.
The GJ store is only 70,000 sq. ft., but the company said they might build a new, larger one here if this store does well. Hope so. I may have to make a trip to check out the Cabela's at Lone Tree.
I'll be up in GJ for the Peach Festival at that time. I'll have to check out the Cabela's up there.
That's my Saturday :DQuote:

If you've been to their other stores the GJ one is kinda underwhelming. Used to be an Albertson's?Quote:

Their other stores are like Bass Pro Shops in Denver is... The GJ store is more of just a store.Quote:

Okay, got ya. Maybe I'll delay my departure and check out the grand opening.
