Cabela's to open outpost

store in Kalispell, Mont.

Cabela's plans to open a Cabela's Outpost Store in Kalispell, Mont.

Construction on the 42,000-square-foot location is scheduled to begin in spring 2013 and Cabela's expects to open the store in the fall of 2013. It will be Cabela's second store in Montana, joining the Billings location.

Cabela's anticipates the store will employ about 75 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees. It will be located near west Reserve Drive along U.S. 93. The area also includes Lowe's, Costco, The Home Depot, Best Buy and Target, among other businesses.

"Kalispell is unique in many ways, but what makes it a Cabela's kind of place is the passion people have for outdoor recreation," said Tommy Millner, Cabela's Chief Executive Officer. "The area is full of outdoorsmen and women who truly live and breathe the Cabela's lifestyle. We look forward to serving them for many years to come."

Currently, Cabela's operates 39 stores across the United States, including one in Post Falls, and Canada. The company will open its first Cabela's Outpost store Oct. 4 in Union Gap, Wash.
