...Doesn't really matter what Cabelas says. Now that they're public, they can be taken over even if they don't want to be bought out...
...From what I have read a corporate raider is trying to gain control of Cabelas and then sell off the pieces for a quick profit. That has gotten Bass Pro and others interested in buying it. The more I read the more it sounds like a hostile take over...
Bingo, and, Bingo ^^^^^ Unfortunately, if it is a publicly traded company, even if the board does not want to sell the company, an outsider with deep pockets can buy enough shares to either force their hand, or make life miserable enough (bleed profit, file lawsuits, monkey with stock price/ratings) that they force their hand.
In regards to the 2000 employees at the home office, "Thank you very much. Here is your severance package. Have a nice life..." Such is the corporate mentality in 2015...
