Cabela’s Open’s In Calgary, Alberta.

Cabela’s much anticipated grand opening happened this morning here at the new Calgary, Alberta location. Line ups packed the parking lot, as hordes of people waited patiently for the first glimpse of fishing and hunting heaven.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony, hosted by Cabela’s executives and special guests, began at 9:45 a.m. and concluded with the grand-opening ribbon being cut by an arrow shot from a bow by Cabela’s Ambassador, Steve Ecklund. Doors opened for business at 10 a.m.
I headed up to Cabala’s, located at 851 – 64th Avenue NE at the Deerfoot Mall, right after work to have a look inside. I shot this picture before heading inside the 70,000 square foot store. As I walked inside the door I was greeted by some killer stuffed fish hanging on display overhead seen here below.
I sauntered over to the fishing department to check out the selection of lures and rods, and was immediately impressed with the lures on the shelf. They had every lure I use to fish the Bow River with. So I grabbed a basket and added some items. I turned to my left and saw a familiar face working in the fishing department. My friend Tyler, whom I have the pleasure of seeing in another local tackle shop, pleasantly shook my hand and said hello. Tyler is a super nice guy and knows his products very well. Whether it is gear fishing or fly fishing, Tyler will make sure you are informed about the products you seek. I highly recommend Tyler if you are shopping for anything fishing related!
We finished our chat and I finished my shopping with several products by Rapala and Live Target in my basket. I walked the entire store before heading to the cashier to pay for my products. I must say I will be back to shop at the new Cabela’s location even though it’s not very close to my residence.
