Cabela's Incorporated announced it plans to build one of its popular destination retail stores adjacent to Interstate 65 in Greenwood, Ind., if negotiations are successfully concluded.

Construction on the 125,000 square-foot retail store could begin this fall and the store could open for business as early as fall of 2008.

The new Cabela's, sited on 21 acres, would be part of a larger retail and entertainment project planned for approximately 100 acres along Interstate 65 and bordered by County Line Road and Graham Road. Focus Group of Valparaiso, Ind., has plans to develop a hotel and water park on five acres adjacent to the Cabela's store.

"We're very pleased we're close to bringing the Cabela's retail store experience to our loyal Indiana customers," said Dennis Highby, Cabela's President and Chief Executive Officer.

"We already have thousands of great customers throughout the entire state and region who enjoy Indiana's abundant outdoor recreational opportunities, and we're excited we could soon be more accessible to them than ever before."

Highby added that a Cabela's would attract business from the region's residents as well as millions of visitors from surrounding states, spurring new economic development and jobs in the region.

To operate the new store, Cabela's would employ more than 200 people from Greenwood and the surrounding area. Cabela's typically attracts as employees passionate outdoorsmen and women, who join the Cabela's family of employees famous for their excellent customer service, outdoor lifestyle and detailed knowledge of outdoor products.
