Quinte Fishing

Haven't seen anything on this board about this announcement.

You must have been on holidays around the end of July and spending too much time on the water fishing instead of looking on here. As much as we all wish it was going to be closer to around here, I at least hope our shipping costs go down now.

Too funny, other boards are claiming that they know from insiders it is coming to Ottawa. How long has this rumour been going on, 8 years now? Hopefully it does come, but I won't believe it until I see it.

It's been listed on the Cabelas.ca website since the summer:

Construction of the Barrie, Ontario, Canada 70,000-square-foot store is scheduled to begin this summer and Cabela’s anticipates a summer 2014 opening. It is expected to employ approximately 200 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees. Most will come from Barrie and the surrounding area.

The store will be located near the intersection of Highway 400 and Mapleview Drive in the Park Place Shopping Centre, which is being developed by North American/CentreCorp.

The store will be built in Cabela’s next-generation layout designed to surround customers in the outdoor experience. In addition to thousands of quality outdoor products, it will include a mountain replica featuring museum-quality wildlife displays, an indoor archery range, Gun Library, Bargain Cave, Deli and Fudge Shop.

“Thanks to the loyalty of our thousands of Canadian customers, and especially those across the province of Ontario, it was an easy decision to bring the Cabela’s retail experience to Barrie,” Millner said. “I can’t say enough about Canada. It’s a Cabela’s kind of place.”

Sorry Guys, guess I missed that on the board.

Absolutely nothing to be sorry about. I'm sure you were busy this summer and it was easy to miss because of fishing from your boat instead of reading every thread on here

I doubt they will go down. Even with the Bass Pro's in Canada they still charge extra to ship to Canada and don't include us in some of the promos they run. But more competitors in Ontario the better for prices.
