Cabela's Inc. is working to bring a retail store to Montreal, Quebec, and the surrounding region. Although planning and discussions are in early stages, Cabela's expects to open the Montreal retail showroom as early as late fall 2007 or spring 2008. The large-format retail store, located in the Lac Mirabel mixed-use project, will be developed by Connecticut-based Gordon Holdings Group and Rubin Stahl, and would be Cabela's first store built outside the United States.

Cabela's currently has 14 retail locations in the United States. The newest, a 185,000-square-foot store in Rogers, Minn., opened Oct. 14, 2005. Cabela's also has announced plans to open stores in Boise, Idaho; La Vista, Neb.; Gonzales, La.; Glendale, Ariz.; Richfield, Wis.; and Hazelwood, Mo., in 2006; and Reno, Nev.; Wheat Ridge, Colo.; East Rutherford, N.J.; East Hartford, Conn.; and Hoffman Estates, Ill., in 2007.
