Bass Pro is buying Cabela's!!! Now what?

[Jmax]

I just saw that the company Bass Pro is buying the Cabela's company for something like 4.5 billion. Now that we have both of them just only a mile or two apart I wonder if they will try to keep both open? emoScratch Jmax

Of course they will, they're brand new stores.

All I know is, I wish I had Cabelas stock on Friday, it went through the roof.

That buy out has been in the works pending approval for several months.

Talk about a monoploy sized company. The two biggest recreational retailers and the 4 biggest bass boat brands under the same people.

Wow! Maybe bass pro would be fishing related and cabelas is hunting/ home decor, cabelas carrying redhead brand. Strange..

John L really wanted the Cabela's Club Visa which accounted for over 40% of Cabela'PROFITS. do not expect see changes at store level any time soon.
