Cabela’s Incorporated announced plans to open stores in two new markets: League City, Texas; and Lexington, Kentucky.
The League City, Texas 72,000-square-foot store will anchor a new retail development at the intersection of Interstate 45 and Big League Dreams Parkway near Kohl’s, HEB Grocery and Big League Dreams Sports Park. Pinnacle Alliance Fund Inc. is managing the development.
Cabela’s anticipates construction on the store will begin later this year and expects a fall 2015 opening. It will be Cabela’s sixth location in Texas, joining stores in Fort Worth, Buda, Allen, Waco and Lubbock.
“Texans love the outdoors and have exhibited a strong passion for Cabela’s, “said, Cabela’s CEO Tommy Millner.”Our existing stores in the Lone Star State have a remarkably loyal customer base, and we expect the same for the League City location. Texas truly is a great place for the outdoors and for Cabela’s.”
Cabela’s expects to hire approximately 170 full-time and part-time employees, most of whom will come from League City and the surrounding area.
The Lexington, Kentucky 70,000-square-foot store will be located in the new Hamburg Place II retail development on Polo Club Boulevard near the intersection of Interstate 75 and Man O War Boulevard. Cabela’s anticipates a spring 2016 opening.
It will be Cabela’s third store in Kentucky, joining the 88,000-square-foot Louisville location opened in 2013 and the 42,000-square-foot Bowling Green location opened Sept. 25. Cabela’s expects to hire approximately 160 full-time and part-time employees.
“The people of Kentucky have a passion for the outdoors and a passion for Cabela’s, said Millner. “The state has embraced our Louisville and Bowling Green stores, and we are thrilled to offer a third location to our customers in the Bluegrass State.”
