Cabela’s opened two new stores this month in Texas and New Mexico — just days before finalizing a merger with competitor Bass Pro Shops, scheduled Monday.
The outdoor retailer’s seventh Texas location opened in El Paso on Sept. 14, according to the company’s social media channels. Its first New Mexico store opened in Albuquerque Thursday.
“We are a Cabela’s 3.0,” Tess Clark, the El Paso Cabela’s retail marketing manager, told KFOX 14 News of the 50,000 square foot store. “We are the first store of this size, gearing in on the customer experience and outfitting each of our customers for their next outdoor adventure.”
Combined, the stores employ 285 staff and both offer Cabela’s “gun hub,” described as a 3-D handgun kiosk simulating live fire with a CO2 recoil.
“You’re able to learn how to shoot and what you may be doing wrong,” Clark said. “It’s almost like an indoor gun range without the indoor gun range. You can try before you buy.”
