Cabela’s Inc. plans to open its first store in Ohio at Polaris.
The iconic hunting, fishing and camping equipment retailer said Feb. 16 it has picked a spot along Gemini Parkway west of Interstate 71 for a store expected to open in spring next year. At 80,000 square feet, the store would be a smaller version of the superstores on which Cabela’s (NYSE:CAB) launched its reputation. It will have about 175 full- and part-time employees.

Will this be in the spot where the amphitheater was, or on the other side of Polaris?

I circled the 3 large empty lots in red that are most suited. Not sure who is holding the land and I havent looked at any transactions in over a year, so I don't know exactly which it will be

The amount of people wearing camo on a regular basis is sure to increase in Columbus.

Eh...its an OK place. I was excited to go to the one in Michigan but it wasnt that great. I had more fun across the road at the place that offered 25 plus kinds of 'beef' jerkey.

I am sure it is hard to enjoy a store with the manliness magnitude of Cabela's with someone like your wife yelling at you about how she wants to leave and how much the store sucks.thavoice;1087787 wrote:Eh...its an OK place.

Negative. WEnt before I even knew her. I mean, it was OK. Maybe worth one visit. A number of us had lists of the stuff we wanted to get there and they either were out of stock or just didnt carry them and were told to order from the catalog.LJ;1087790 wrote:I am sure it is hard to enjoy a store with the manliness magnitude of Cabela's with someone like your wife yelling at you about how she wants to leave and how much the store sucks.
Maybe if ya lived by one it would be cool to pop in there when ya need to, but I know many people around here who drive hours and hours to go to one and in that sense it was a letdown.
