Cabela's is coming to Kansas in the Spring of 2012. Site work has begun on their new 80,000 SF location in Wichita.
According to the Wichita Eagle (See article below), the new store is expected to attract between 800,000 and 1,000,000 million visitors each year.
The company is utilizing smaller prototypes to get closer to the more populated areas as opposed to the larger stores that they have historically built in more remote areas. Their larger stores have gotten close to 200,000 square feet. Based on my personal experience with the company, the larger stores draw from a very wide trade area, so the company is wisely placing the new stores so as not to impact existing locations.
