lew Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I've never been to a Cabelas but everyone always says how great they are. I'll wait and see what everyone says when it opens and if the reviews are good, I'll definitely make the drive over for a look-see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might need two cars to tow it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike rousseau Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 very true, target is more expensive than walmart in most categories, I walked through once and haven't been in again That's their business model... Higher prices to pay for more workers for "better" customer service... And to "thin the herd" so to speak.... It's like a grocery store... Same box of cereal in 2 stores have 2 different prices.... Some will pay more for shorter lines at the cash and less shoppers.... Not this guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slightlyhuman Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Funny you say that. The useless Target store started after this one did,and is farther ahead. Quality takes time. I can wait,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I think.LOL Steve,I no believe.LOL didnt they have that target mapped out with those red poles more than like 2 years ago too? My uncle was the foreman on the first building that went in (Best Buy, Golf Town, etc) and then came back to finish up Marshalls a bit later. that was the start of 2011 and he had heard they were mapping out the target then. he's now coming back up to start on the centre plazas. still no target lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioFisherman Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 What I found cool,was the outer structure is made of that concrete filled foam.blocks. I saw a video of a company constructing a home foundation and basement with those. The foam acts as a mold and adds an insulation value. Not that it ever gets cold up there. LOL If you can reduce heating and cooling costs? It's best to do it with the initial construction? Never had a problem with BPS or Cabelas's both were on the trip list and both had certain advantages, having one close by is one of the biggest advantages. At the time I had to travel to Auburn Hills or Dundee Michigan for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoty Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) they have to see if they can "up" sail. Well...that def won't be hard to do! Can't wait for a Cabela's that's within driving distance! Edited February 25, 2014 by Stoty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowSlayer101 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 cabelas in the states compared to a canadian bass pro location is like haven, i hope this one will be somewhat like the ones in the states but who knows, the bass pro in vaughn def. won't be hard to beat of them, pure disappointments at the BPS in vaughn, now the states stores on the other hand.....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshS Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'm pretty pumped to see what Cabela's brings. Let's hope it's comparable to the stores down south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bare foot wader Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 we won't ever get the same caliber of store as in the US with selection and price points, but we'll get some impressive animal mounts at least....and with the depreciating Canadian dollar the price gap will widen again.....didn't harper's budget announce something about tackling "country pricing" with major retailers? but as for Cabelas, they still suck in Canada....Edmonton just the other day, "where is the prism tape for spoons?"....salesman, "nah, we don't carry that, go to fishin hole, that's where I get mine" they didn't even have a single pack of white tubes of any brand next at the gun counter, "do you have a loopy vx6 I can look through?"....salesman, "sure, but you'll save a couple hundred elsewhere" I'll likely visit the Ontario Cabela's but it's only good for the clearance stuff, guidewear clothing line and small stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 We should probably wait and see what this new Cabelas is like before condemning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raf Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 clearance stuff, guidewear clothing line ding ding. combine the two and it's a big reason why i'll spend some $$$ there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bare foot wader Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 ding ding. combine the two and it's a big reason why i'll spend some $$$ there. agreed, I've noticed regular retail price is often 20-30% over BPS/wholesale sports on some items, be careful buying regular priced stuff....HT polar fire UL ice combo that is 25.99 or 29.99 at competitors was priced at 41.99 the other week but their guidewear clothing is nice, gotta give em credit for that much, and I bought a primaloft puffy jacket at 40% off competition is a good thing, so maybe the ON store will be priced more competitively....maybe I'm just being overly pessimistic, aka "early onset old man syndrome" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Setting reasonable expectations is also fair. Comparing retail stores across the boarder is often a recipe for disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshS Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Cabela's sales, especially on clearance items, are great.. better than other big retailers. Hope the mark up on items in Canada isn't crazy and they keep the good thing going with their clearance and sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey buoy Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I can't see them doing better than BPS.Love that store,but the pricing is no where near that of the states(so we've heard).I wonder how much wiggle room they have to pass on to the customer?Can't wait to at least check it out!.

grimsbylander Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 The slumping Canadian dollar should bode well for retail sales at home. Unfortunately, they bump the prices up quickly citing foreign exchange whereas back when the dollar went par, it took a year and a bunch of consumer complaining to get pricing corrected. Kind of like gas prices...when the price of oil goes up, that somehow changes the price of the gas already delivered to a gas station a few days before.

misfish Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Kind of like gas prices. $1:32 HERE TODAY. WTH is that all about? As for the store,I,ll be buying my big ticket items. All other I will support our local Bait Bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
