Richfield, Wis. Cabela's set to open September 22, 2006

RICHFIELD, Wis. (July 2006) -- Cabela's®, known as the World's Foremost Outfitter® of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, will open its newest destination retail store in Richfield, Wis., Friday, September 22, 2006.

Four million people are expected to visit the Richfield store annually, making it one of the largest tourist attractions in the state. Extraordinary in design and showcasing thousands of products from its world-famous catalog, a customer's average length of stay is a remarkable 3 1/2 hours, with half of the visitors coming from outside of 100 miles.

The 165,000-square-foot, large-format superstore is being built on a 60-acre site in Washington County, generally described as the triangle formed by the intersections of U.S. Highway 41, U.S. Highway 45 and State Highway 145 in the towns of Richfield and Polk. Plans call for approximately 20 acres of the 60-acre site to be developed by additional businesses that could include hotels, restaurants, complementary retail stores or other travel and tourism-related businesses.

The Richfield location is the second Cabela's destination retail store in Wisconsin. The company operates a smaller retail store and massive distribution center in Prairie du Chien, Wis.

"The Badger state is a recreational outdoor wonderland. Those who are fortunate to live and work in Wisconsin and the region are passionate about hunting, fishing, camping and outdoor activities," said Dennis Highby, Cabela's president and CEO. "We could not be more excited to bring Cabela's to Richfield and to the greater Milwaukee area, which is enjoying substantial retail and commercial growth."

The Wisconsin DNR says sport fishing alone is a $2.3 billion dollar industry that supports more than 26,000 jobs in Wisconsin and generates $100 million in state tax revenue.

The Richfield, Wis., store will be built in Cabela's trademark style that evokes the feeling of the outdoors. Cabela's stores are known as top-notch educational and entertainment attractions.

The general contractor is Minneapolis-based Kraus-Anderson Construction Company, one of the country's top commercial general contractors and construction managers.
