"It is estimated that the entire Gateway at Scarborough project will generate more than $100 million in annual retail sales and provide about 800 full and/or part-time job opportunities."
In addition to Cabela's, the Gateway at Scarborough will include approximately 68,600 square feet of complimentary retail space, three 6,000 square foot restaurant facilities, a 4,000 square foot full-service banking facility, a 200-room hotel and approximately 80,000 square feet of professional office space.
When completed, the entire project will consist of approximately 11 separate buildings, all in a harmonious architectural design and integrated with a network of roads, pedestrian walkways and landscape features including ponds and fountains.
"The Gateway at Scarborough will be the catalyst for drawing new businesses to the area, helping our existing businesses grow, and creating new property tax revenue for our town," said Harvey Rosenfeld, president of the Scarborough Economic Development Corporation, which has worked closely with the developer throughout the site location and permitting process. "This project is what good economic development is all about. It is a win-win for everyone."
To operate the new store, Cabela's expects to employ as many as 250 people from Scarborough and the surrounding area who will join the Cabela's family of employees famous for their excellent customer service, outdoor lifestyle and detailed knowledge of outdoor products.
Product offerings will include hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, boating and wildlife watching gear, as well as outdoor clothing and outdoor-themed gifts and furnishings.
Cabela's currently operates 19 retail locations and plans to open seven additional new stores in 2007, including Gonzales, La; Hoffman Estates, Ill; East Hartford, Conn; Hammond, Ind; Reno, Nev; Post Falls, Idaho; and Lacey, Wash.
The Scarborough store will be built in Cabela's trademark style that captures the look and feel of the great outdoors. Cabela's stores are known as top-notch educational and entertainment attractions, mixing museum-quality animal displays, aquariums stocked with native fish and a centerpiece indoor mountain displaying trophy animals in realistic re-creations of their natural habitats.
Innovatively designed and showcasing thousands of products from Cabela's world-famous catalogs, Cabela's stores are known as top shopping and tourism destinations, drawing customers not only from the local area, but also from hundreds of miles away.
