Had a special invite to check out the new cabelas. It is great. Much better then the other local sporting good stores. Definitely worth a visit. Didn’t walk out empty handed. Cabelas club members available to see on the 13 th prior to main grand opening on the 15th. 
Am pretty sure the Preopening in on May 14th 9am-9pm.
Here is a link covered last week.
See you there.

there is a pre-pre opening on the 13th that they sent invites for. I got a invite but will probably not go as there seems like there are no specials that day.

Correct, I confirmed with Cabelas they will not be having any Grand Opening specials.

Has anyone ever been to a Cabelas grand opening before? Do they normally have some good deals/giveaways?
I’m trying to decide whether or not to work from home on Thursday to check it out.
I was in Green Bay for their Grand opener….
Not a bunch of specials but a whole bunch of people 
I had a special promotional pricing. Better then I’ll ever get again.

Tom Gursky and I had pro-staff obligations for Green Bay, and I worked the two in Denver and a few more. Busy to say the least. The media attention is huge and thousands of people will come out just to walk through and take a look.
At Green Bay, this guy was hiding behide a display trying on all the pink PDFs……, I think he found his color 
Gursky should have been a secret shopper 
I don’t think there was a rod on that rack that he didn’t check out by the end of the week 
No pics of me….I was too busy!
Seriously though, at these grand openings, there may not be tons of deals like some of the Spring door Buster items. However, the vast majority of manufactures will have their Reps or Prostaff there to assist the Cabelas staff in answering questions on products. I realize its hard to see, but in the last pic, there is the entire Green Bay staff for the final kick-off meeting just before opening the doors. Not only did that include Green Bay’s staff, but all the mentors that corporate brought in from all the other stores. Just outside the glass, there are over 8,000 anxiously awaiting for those doors to open. That’s a lot of people asking questions and looking for stuff…. By bringing the staffers from the manufactures, it provides a lot of help when your seeking info

Of course not, why would they when there are already 10k+ sheeple willing to throw their money at them? 
Looks like James will be out there Sat/Sun 11am-3pm

I was able to check out the store tonight, much smaller in size,but well worth a visit. I will be there all weekend helping out with the youth fishing clinic, grab the young ones and stop on out.
Perfect Jeff!

Pretty good disguise BK; I almost didn’t even suspect it was you.
