Just read on the ADN site that they plan to build a store near C street and 104th. Nice.

WOO HOO

You know I just heard that from a friend of mine. That will definitely be a must see for me, as I finally saw Sportsmans Warehouse at Anchorage this year

Dang it, there goes the rest of my money. Some of their products have gone down hill but their return policy is second to none. Hope they do well.

Another money magnet for the yearly trips to the big village

I sure hope they don't put one of those fancy gun rooms in this one !

Yaaaa a bunch of overpriced GQ crap you don't really need

lol ....you got that right!

Haha saw it on channel 2 news last night...first time in months i watch the news and its something actually cool!

YES! It's going to have one !!!!

IDNEY, Neb. (July 26, 2012) - Cabela's Incorporated,(NYSE:CAB) the World's Foremost Outfitter® of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, announced today plans to bring the unique Cabela's shopping experience to Anchorage, Alaska.

The 100,000-square-foot store, to be located on the south side of Anchorage near the intersection of W. 104th Avenue and C Street, will be Cabela's first in Alaska. Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2013.

The store is expected to employ approximately 200 full- and part-time employees. To staff the store, Cabela's expects to draw on the large pool of outdoor-recreation savvy people in Anchorage and the surrounding area.

The building's exterior will reflect Cabela's popular store model with log construction, stonework, wood siding and metal roofing. A large glass storefront will allow customers to view much of the store's interior as they approach the building. The inside will feature the company's next-generation layout, designed to surround customers in an outdoor experience, including conservation-themed wildlife displays and trophy animal mounts displayed on a mountain. Additionally, the store will feature a 5,575-gallon aquarium. [/b]The store will also feature a Gun Library[b], Bargain Cave and Fudge Shop.

"What can I say about Alaskans? We love them; so many of them live the Cabela's lifestyle. We love the whole Last Frontier State and what it represents," Millner said. "Cabela's has had great customers in Alaska, essentially since the company started more than 50 years ago. We've lost count of how many times Alaskans have told us they rely on Cabela's not only for their outdoor recreation, but for their everyday living. For years, we've wanted to build a store there for our loyal customers."

In addition to next-generation stores scheduled to open this summer in Charleston, W.Va., and Rogers, Ark., and the first Outpost store to open in Union Gap, Wash., Cabela's has announced plans to open six next-generation stores in 2013 - Columbus, Ohio; Grandville, Mich.; Louisville, Ky.; Thornton, Colo.; Lone Tree, Colo.; and Green Bay, Wis.

Currently, Cabela's operates 37 stores across the United States and Canada.

THe Green Bay store is being built upon a marsh that is being filled in..... DNR was fighting the move but i believe WI Gov pulled some strings to overide DNR.... at least that is the rumor on the streets....

What's a fudge shop? Is it a room where tales are told and you can sort of "streatch" the truth a little?

It's where old men like you can sit and chew chocolate.

I think it's for all the fudge-packers from REI. They also sell bikes and spandex

I thought the packers were from Wisconsin....

Sounds like my kind of place!

Yep....most of 'em.

Yep da Packers are from WI and the AKs come down to watch them on vacation!

Ah yes, been wondering why they didn't have a store there. Should do OK, especially in the summertime.

You guys and your funny WI jokes......

I wonder if Cabela's Alaska will have a Bush Dept?
