Cabela

From what I have heard from other forums and online sources, Cabela's is changing their marketing style a little bit. They are getting away from the huge stores scattered about, like Bass Pro Shops. They are starting to build many smaller stores much closer together, almost like Gander Mountain or ****'s Sporting Goods.

Ah, that makes sense. I like Cabelas but feel they are a little overpriced. I still like to shop with the local guys at backwater's

Thants an understatement.7.95 for power worms! All of the big chains are charging us alot for the huge stores with their lakes and ponds in them.Don't take me wrong those stores are nicebut everything comes with a price.I find myself avoiding them every chance I get. I too prefer local stores and shop online the rest of the time.

I buy from them because they are minutes from my house but they are vastly over priced. Why you ask, well here is what I was told by someone in the know about them. They do a market demographic study of where they plan to locate. What they do is price items to what the average 30 to 40 mile radius average home income will support.
Now they put this Louisville store in the east end of Jefferson county near the Summitt now known as the Paddock, Uh la la and bingo.............they sell at the higher price. I don't like it but its smart and that is why they make money.

If I'm looking for those last minute trip items and don't need much I'm all over it. But if I'm really stock shopping stuff I need to replenish I'm driving across the bridge to Hooterville @ BPS.......
