Cabela’s Incorporated announced today plans to open a 42,000-square-foot store in Ammon, Idaho, serving the greater Idaho Falls area. Construction is scheduled to begin later this year and Cabela’s plans to open the location in spring 2015.
The store will be located in the Sandcreek Commons development near Hitt Road and Sunnyside Avenue off Interstate 15. It will be Cabela’s third Idaho location, joining the Boise store opened in 2006 and the Post Falls store opened in 2007. Cabela’s expects the store to employ approximately 90 full-time and part-time employees, most of whom will come from Ammon and the surrounding area.
“It’s incredibly exciting to announce a third location in Idaho, a place Cabela’s loves,” said Tommy Millner, Cabela’s Chief Executive Officer. “The continued loyalty of Cabela’s customers across the state, coupled with the success of our Boise and Post Falls locations, made it an easy decision to open a store in Ammon.”
Also today, the company announced initial plans to open stores in Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., and Short Pump, Va. Cabela’s operates 50 stores across North America with plans to open 23 more during the next two years.
