Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Cabela's and Bass Pro

One thing about Cabela’s that Johnny Morris has not ruined yet is the bathrooms are still by the front door. The last time the GF and I were in Cabela’s was because we both had to pee.

I always pass on that,

Your Cabelas must be different than our. The big Dundee store has the restrooms upstairs in the far back corner.

I was really happy when Sportsmans Warehouse came back to Spokane after the bankruptcy, but now that BPS has bought SW, I am strictly limited to going local. Had a real good local store, the White Elephant, but it closed down. Only option is the Black Sheep in Coeur d'Alene, owned by the same family as the Elephant, and mail order from Sportco On the west side of the state. Getting harder and harder to find sporting goods stores that really sell sporting goods, not soccer mom crap.

My only Cabela's experiences since the takeover were this winter. I'd been given a gift card last fall. We were in Boise and I was looking around for something I needed. This was when most of the shelves were empty but I did find an extra large Bass Pro fishing tackle bag that we're using for a car camping kitchen. Then I got another gift card for Christmas. I put that one toward a generator. I placed the order and had it in 3 days.

You might check Clark’s in Colville. Happy Trails

Actually go to a store, in person, to shop? Heathens.

Forgot these guys. Haven't been there in quite a while. One of the remaining good places to go.

Six months after Cabela's went on the stock market I got rid of my card and pretty much stopped shoping there . And I've been shopping with them since the 70s ......after they went on the stock market I called a order in and for the first time in my life I had to wait....and wait ....and I asked the operator/customer service and she said oh yeah they cut staff.

I always looked at bass pro and cabela's as competitors. Now competitors are linked and that brings questions to mind about price fixing by eliminating competition. I doubt the brick and mortar stores result in much of a percentage of their overall business.

The best Cabala type store around here is Whittaker Guns. Plenty of guns at good prices, lots of quality fishing supplies, lots of hunting and non-hunting clothes, and the best Archery shop around!
