Cabela’s Inc., plans to bring its retail experience to four new markets in 2014. The four include three in the U.S. – Acworth, Ga.; Augusta, Ga.; and Missoula, Mont. – and one in Canada in Barrie, Ontario. The Acworth and Augusta stores are Cabela’s first and second in Georgia.
Construction on the approximately 100,000-square-foot store in Acworth is scheduled to begin this fall and Cabela’s plans to open the store in the fall of 2014. It will be located in the Cherokee Village development in the northeast quadrant of I-75 and Highway 92. Majestic Realty is developing the shopping center.
The Acworth store is expected to employ approximately 200 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees. Most will come from Acworth and the surrounding area.
In Augusta, construction is scheduled to begin this summer and Cabela’s plans to open the store in the spring of 2014. The 42,000-square-foot Cabela’s Outpost store will be located on the south side of I-20 at Riverwatch Parkway in the Village at Riverwatch development. MGHerring is managing the development.
The store is expected to employ approximately 90 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees. Most will come from Augusta and the surrounding area.
The Augusta location will feature a Core-Flex floor plan allowing products to be rotated seasonally, as well as a rugged outdoor look and feel and innovative digital signage.
Construction on the Missoula location, also a Cabela’s Outpost store, is scheduled to begin this fall. The company anticipates a summer 2014 opening. It will be Cabela’s third Montana store, joining the Billings location opened in 2009 and a Kalispell location scheduled to open this fall.

The store will be located on Brooks Street in the southeast quadrant of South Reserve Street and Highway 93, where the existing Kmart building will be razed as part of a growing retail development being called, “South Crossing.” Woodbury Corporation of Salt Lake City, Utah, is the developer of the project.
