How can Cabelas afford to open a new store? Especially a destination store? I thought they were being bought by Bass Pro which was currently on hold and that with Gander Mountain declaring bankruptcy that the sale may be in limbo. I know that this was years in the making but strange opening. We had a Sports Authority open they then declared bankruptcy and closed the store after less than 9 months I think. They had to have known the bankruptcy was coming.
I know with President Trump being elected it's a slump for gun manufacturers. A friend who used to work at Gander said that in his opinion if Hilary would have won Gander would have sold enough guns to stay out of bankruptcy. That's only his opinion but interesting none the less. Strange that Cabelas is opening then.

New Cabela’s megastore in Gainesville, Va., is a monument to gun rights

And with that, the doors of the region’s first Cabela’s — the chain of hunting, fishing and camping gear stores — swung open and 2,000 people streamed in, clapping and cheering.
This opening, many shoppers said, was proof that Donald Trump’s America is thriving, even near the nation’s capital. The megastore — about 35 miles up the road from the White House — is the company’s 86th location and its closest to Washington. Among its offerings: an indoor archery range, a gun library with antiques that cost as much as $6,500, and a display of special firearms donated by the National Rifle Association. Opening weekend festivities included an all-ages BB gun shooting range in the parking lot.
