[Gman]

I might sneak out of work as well to hit the Lone Tree shop. I've never been in a Cabela's or Bass Pro store before.

Who opens a store on a frickin' Thursday?

A lot of places do, it's a sort of soft opening before the big weekend. Gives the 100 or so brand new employees time to learn their jobs better before they get slammed. When I worked for Gander mtn, they typically did it similarly. They'd have experienced employees come in from other stores to help get the noobs up to speed but normally only 1 or 2 for each department for about 3 days of business and then they're on their own.

That's my Saturday

I can also see the store from my office.

I know, I was a bit upset when they started construction on that hill, really screwed up my stalking you.

Yeah, but at least you can stay out of the weather then

The GJ store was just to test the market, rumor is they are going to build a mega-store there soon.

Damn! 11:00am. Guess I'll see if the wife can stand in line for me.

I'll be up in GJ for the Peach Festival at that time. I'll have to check out the Cabela's up there.

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

Welcome to the Grand Valley, Jmetz. Hope there are some peaches for you this year. Many orchards lost their crop due to cold temps.

Cabela's built a smaller but still impressive store here, a step up from Sportsmans Warehouse which opened in 2001. Both are far more hunter shooter friendly than the Sports Authority pablum which caters to soccer moms. Cabela's is in the Mesa Mall where they expanded the former Mervyns clothing store space.

Thanks, good to know. It's really more about the ride and hitting some of my favorite roads then anything else, but you can't beat a Palisade peach so hopefully there will be some around.

I hate to brag, but....Cabela's scheduled the openings for August 15th to celebrate "Ginsue's Birthday". Only the Senior Corporate Executives at Cabela's know why this date was chosen, so mum's the word. 'K?

BTW, thanks for posting this Singlestack - I added it to the site Calendar.
