[Jmnhunter]

did u guys hear, they are putting a new cabelas in St. Paul (east i think), which i think is just a stupid idea, it will kill their Owatona store, they should of put one more north, north west. oh well, cant wait!

They have proposed one in Rogers.

[lawdog]

Yep Rogers and that will be awful close to you BLB. I'd go broke living that close to a Cabela's!

[Jmnhunter]

how far is that from the cities there?

[FOOT]

Rogers is only about 15 miles from the western edge of the Twin Cities. Coming back from Ottertail (ice fishing) this weekend I think we saw the construction already taking place. It's going to be bigger then the one in Owatonna (much bigger) and they are expecting it to host 4 million people per year.

[Pistolero]

YES!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for it to open! It will only be a couple of minutes from me and I will be another one going broke because of it being so close.

Just drove by the future site of cabela's in rogers. They are out doing soil borings andtests (Braun intertec I think. Just live a couple of miles north. My wife is already thinking of working there when she retires. Can't wait. Gonna luv it

I heard a rumor down here that the Owatonna store will be closing. I told the person who told me that I highly doubt it. Especially with the great location they are at and the amount of traffic it has. Sure it will take away some people but it will still have quite a few people still stop.

Any truth to this rumor?

[shooterIII]

I doubt very much if the Owatonna store will close, just think about how long it takes to drive from south metro area to Rodgers and the trafic compared to driving on 35 and no trafic. Besides all the trafic it gets from the WS, IL, IO, SD etc. to hunt and fish.

I am not a fan of Cabelas anyway...to me it is over priced goods. You have to buy at their sidewalk sales to get a decent deal. So basically I am not excited at all, especially since it is destroying wetlands...ironically
