Cabela's Announces Plans for Woodbury, N.Y., Store Construction to begin this spring 2015; doors scheduled to open in spring 2016

 

SIDNEY, Neb. (June 4, 2014) — Cabela's Incorporated the World's Foremost Outfitter® of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, announced today plans to bring the extraordinary Cabela's retail experience to customers in Woodbury, N.Y., and the surrounding area.

 

Construction on the 90,000-square-foot store is scheduled to begin in spring 2015 and Cabela's expects to open the location in spring 2016. It will be Cabela's second store in New York, joining the 88,000-square-foot Cheektowaga location scheduled to open this fall.

Right next to Woodbury Commons premium outlets. Drop off the wife, to Cabela's I go!

Traffic should be a peach on weekends...lol

With all those safe laws, can they even sell anything?

Do you know what the SAFE Act Limits? They can still sell 90%+ of their regular inventory. Why is everyone so caught up in this? They already have another store in NY and it's obviously doing well.

The other store near Buffalo isn't open yet.....

 

 

And most of Cabela's money is made off the firearms section.....I believe the NY Safe act forces ammo purchases to have a NICS check(I could be wrong) so that is a real PIA.

Be careful of the going with the wife plan. After you hit up Cabelas theres stil 4 more Godforsaken hrs of wandering around the Woodbury zoo, never, ever will I make that mistake again lol!

I think they indefinitely suspended the ammo NICS checks due to (big surprise) insufficient infrastructure to handle the necessary checks. It may come back once they get a new system on place but that will likely take a while.

Firearms are the "draw"  The money is in clothing and apparel.

Actually since they widened the toll plaza, added a speed pass and dedicated 4 lanes just to the Woodbury commons exit, the traffic is not much to speak of....even during the absolutely insane boxing day sales.

We pass through that exit 3 to 4 times a year on the way to Montreal usually on weekends and have yet to see the nightmarish traffic backups of years past. Can't help but think it was in anticipation of a big draw store like Cabela's and perhaps who ever is yet to come.

Now I'll be making more frequent stops in the future basically for ammo....what are the laws in NYS on ammo purchases these days?

I no longer go as much as I used to, but traffic going there wasn't as big a problem as traffic leaving. I remember trying to leave the place after 3pm during a peak shopping period (sometime in December) and it took about an hour just to exit the parking lot.

That will remain an issue...... but I recall days where the bumper to bumper traffic started 2 miles before the Tolls going into exit 16.

I think I would rather pay the shipping. After gas and tolls, it's probably close to a wash anyway.

Don't buy anything from NY - do not put one cent into their tax dollars.

DNA Samples submitted to the NYS database, Fingerprints, 4 notarized references including one from your employer. Proof that you donated at least $1,000 to the NYS Democrat party, An autographed picture of the governor, the $50 lead recovery fee and the $50 fee for exporting ammunition out of NY State.

Agreed...I spend as little as possible in NYS. Its bad enough i pay taxes there

Cute.

There is a walmart up there that sells ammo. They don't even ask to see my fid to buy ammo anymore, although they still have a 3 box max. And they usually have most calibers except .22!

Bingo...we have a winner!

I would stop at the mega Wally world and Gander mountain in Plattsberg after crossing the Canadian border on the way back home but in the past 2 years have yet to find any .22,.38,.357,9mm on the shelves....

If you are including clothes.

 

I would be willing to bet half of the firearms and firearms accessories that Cabelas sells by volume are illegal in NY.

 

But if they are already doing good business in NY, then they should be able to in NJ.

except for that pesky thing NJ refers to as "revenue". Something NY doesn't have on the first 10yrs of opening.

Nobody is that stupid.

 

Even if they get some bites, once they peter out after a year or two they will pass a new law that claws that crap back indirectly under a different tax if you leave.

Gander Mtn in Kingston ammo shelves were packed with inventory on Saturday. Except for .22.

Good to know....supposedly excellent restaurants in that town and good waterfront bars.....Biker central like Lake George?

Probably because their prices are outrageous! Not sure if it's the same up there, but the one near Charlotte gave you KY with each purchase.

This weekend a 350 rd ammo can of 9mm Blazer was $99. (Regular price $119 I think) Other calibers were comparably priced.
