Cabela's Inc. has announced plans to open new retail locations in Springfield, OR and Allen, TX.


Cabela’s expects to open the Springfield store in early spring of 2011. The 58,000-square-foot store will anchor the west side of Gateway Mall at 3000 Gateway Street in retail space previously occupied by Ashley Furniture. It will be Cabela’s first retail store in Oregon.

The building’s exterior will reflect Cabela’s traditional store model, while the inside will highlight the company’s next-generation layout, which includes an aquarium, conservation-themed wildlife displays and trophy animal mounts. The store will also have a Gun Library, Fly-Fishing Shop, General Store and Bargain Cave. Construction is expected to start in mid-August 2010.


“Oregonians have a rich tradition of enjoying the outdoors,” said Cabela’s Chief Executive Officer Tommy Millner. “Fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing activities are a way of life for folks who live along the I-5 Corridor and throughout the state. We’re thrilled Springfield will be the location of Cabela’s first store in Oregon.”


Cabela’s expects to attract Oregon residents, as well as the many travelers who come to take advantage of the region’s abundant sporting opportunities.


“We’re excited to be a part of the Springfield community,” said Millner. “We have an outstanding customer base in the area and we expect to employ an equally exceptional local workforce.”




Cabela's is also planning to open a new retail location in Allen, TX. in early spring 2011.

The 100,000-square-foot store will be located at U.S. Highway 75 and Village Drive, and will be Cabela’s third retail store in Texas, joining the Fort Worth and Buda locations.

The building’s exterior will reflect Cabela’s traditional 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 highlight the company’s next-generation layout, which is designed to immerse customers in the outdoor experience and includes an aquarium, conservation-themed wildlife displays and trophy animal mounts. The store will also have a Gun Library, Fly-Fishing Shop, General Store and Bargain Cave. Construction is expected to start in late August 2010.


“Texas is a prime location for a variety of outdoor activities, including hunting, fishing and boating, and our loyal customers in this part of the state are passionate about these pursuits,” said Cabela’s Chief Executive Officer Tommy Millner. “The area’s residents, as well as visitors to the region, are people who enthusiastically enjoy their outdoor heritage, and we’re excited to be even more accessible to them.”
