Awesome!!!!!

I can't believe they are putting one in waco before Houston. It'll do we'll in Waco I just feel like they are missing a huge market down on the coast.

Very true....I guess they are just thinking I-35

I would have never though Waco, but I'm glad, it's closer than buda

We have bass pro and gander mnt. I don't know what's in waco. But they might feel theirs to much competition here.

I would love for one to be built around here though. Preferably out on the east side of town.

This is bad, that’s just to close. I'm more dangerous to my bank account in Cabelas than my wife is in a jewelry store.

...hope they stock ammo and reloading supplies...

Haha. There also making an in-n-out. Might be a monthly tradition. Cabelas and in-n-out.

cannont wait, looks like ive been a bear at the right time.....second job maybe?

Maybe NASCAR is coming to Waco as well.

About time. No more shipping fees for me. Might need to get a job there. That's about 4 miles from my house.

nice! I go that way to see my parents

Foosh, I didn't know you were in Waco, for some reason I though you were down by the coast somewhere

OH CARP!!!! Now I will have to work as much overtime as I can without being terminated just to support my Cabela's habit!!!! FYI wife not as happy as I am

I grew up in China Spring, spent my post HS days in Waco.

supposedly going to be 40,000 (Ish) SQFT but I guide deer hunts in Centex still so it will see lots of my $$ and my clients

hot damn


about time.

they have been paying attention to the zip codes and where people are coming from.

and figure right smack between the two that are already on I35

will bring some good business to waco at the same time

Should supply decent job numbers to

Wish it was there when I was in school, I'd be a star employee!

Guys I would not get TOO EXCITED look at the press release, the store will only be 42,000 square feet! that's less that 1/5th the size of the signature store in Fort Worth {247,000 square feet} it will be an outpost style store with only a small amount of gear, you will still have to order your stuff off the website and pick it up at the store. I suspect, no gun library, no museum, no gun range or archery range, no fly shop and no restaurant.....

just found this on the web, sorry to burst your bubble guys....

"Customers will be treated to all Cabela’s merchandise via online order kiosks, as well as free shipping to Cabela’s Outposts with an In-Store Pickup program. In-Store Pickup allows customers to order Cabela’s gear ahead of time and pick it up at their convenience at the store of their choice. Cabela’s Outposts, built with Cabela’s outdoor look and theme, also will feature seasonal product assortments in an Core Flex flexible floor plan, which will change to meet seasonal demands and provide a different look throughout the year. Digital signage will complement the interior layout."

You will still get free in store delivery

Sweet!! Nice spot to take a break on the way home from college station.

Maybe they will see that they should build a bigger store in the future. And as much as I'd prefer it to be a bigger store, I'll take what I can get.

there will be in store merchandise, it is not just an place to pickup your orders. The in store selection will not be as much as the store in FW or the one in Allen. A lot of people thought the Store in Allen would be bad at 110,000 square feet but you have lots of selection in that store. The Waco store will have lots of things many of which will be rotated in and out depending on the season. The Kiosks are and have been there since the store opened in Allen, so nothing new there. You will also be able to order online from home and have it shipped to the store at no shipping charge on most items and have it held for you up to 10 days or more on request.

As far as a gun range the FW store does not have one, never has.
I expect there will be a Gun Library as that is where the buying of used guns takes place and is a big part of business for them. Did you know you can look at the gun library online at all the Cabela's store locations?

For in store pickup all the Cabela's stores do that, that is where you go to pickup items you have put on hold or ordered that have come in from the ones you selected to save shipping on items shipped to the store.

Who cares about a gun library, museum, range, or a dang restaurant...I want free shipping and a store that offers duck gear like no one else in Waco...which is what we should get.
