TENANT DESCRIPTION

Cabela’s was founded in 1961 by Richard N. Cabela in Chappell, Nebraska, originally as a mail-order fishing gear business. It quickly grew into one of the nation’s largest specialty retailers of hunting, fishing, and outdoor gear. In 2017, Cabela’s merged with Bass Pro Shops, consolidating two of the most well-known names in the outdoor sporting goods industry under a single private ownership structure while retaining its branding and store operations.
