Wholesale sports replacement
 

Has anyone heard any rumors that Cabela's may be opening a south Calgary store in WSS location? It seems like a slam dunk.

would be nice but its pretty close to the current Cabelas...

Hope they take Lethbridge instead!

They're welcome in gp as well.

Cabelas won’t be opening a store but basspro might.

I don’t know any answers but I can’t see them opening another store. With Bass Pro and Cabelas already having stores in Calgary, even the close proximity to another, I can’t see it being a wise decision in today’s market. And moving the brand new Cabelas is pretty expensive.

Why would they bother with another Calgary store? To out-compete Bass Pro? oh, I forgot..... LOL ;)

Why would that be a slam dunk?

Seeing how Bass Pro and Cabelas are now one and the same, I think it would be odd for them to open a 3rd store in Calgary unless they are going to keep the two stores as separate brands. In that case I could see WSS becoming a BPS - there is a huge market in southern Calgary/Okotoks that now has a very long way to go to get to a dedicated outdoors store...TFH, Cabelas, BPS all north of the transcanada.

Edmonton has two cabelas just across town, wouldn't be a stretch to have one in south Calgary.

They are remaining separate brands

Either BPS or Cabelas would be nice to have in the south. They should jump on the location opportunity.

BPS has publicly stated they are discussing closing competing stores with-in 65K of each other....... I'm sure their bean counters are on top of the "Slam Dunk" locations

Saw an article a while back these 2 are the 5th closest of them all.

Heard the Calgary Cabelas will close next year.

That was my point after having read that too!

I've heard rumours from WSS employees that Cabelas brass has already been in Lethbridge looking at locations. We do have a vacant building down here that is central in a business hub and accomodates pretty much all of Southern Alberta. If there was a Slam Dunk, this would be it. Take it for what you will though. All heresay.

Wouldn't mind a Cabelas in Red Deer, although not sure if they'd be able to justify it with one and hour and a half away each way.

Would be nice if we could get a place back like the old Frenchies and Barrattos

Or Russel sports.

In this economy and everyone wants to shop online instead of local who would bother investing.

I am disappointed about the closing of wholesale sports. Don't get me wrong I prefer the Cabela's experience however every time I price compare a product from cabela's to wholesale sports cabela's was always more expensive. Plus with Bass Pro Shop buying out Cabela's they are really the only big player in the hunting/fishing industry. I can see this leading to even higher prices

just what Trump wants. take over Canada. let see no more Wholesale sports, sears, rona, C series plane what's next.

I heard Bass Pros coming to the new Leduc Shopping Center

The other place would be the soon to be gone sears in Park Place Mall.

I heard the REAL owners of a Bass Pro, Wendy Cukier and The UN, are going to buy P&D, Phoenix and Canadian Tire, close them all , then blow themselves up across North America in the remaining BP Stores.......

Dunno. Heard it from a buddy or some stranger during coffee or while using the can.... can’t remember names or dates

I read this on the internet too. So it must be true!

WSS is the biggest pos store, glad its going out of business, i can find cheaper prices at CT & Cabelas even with their up to 40% off bs its cheaper elsewhere. Good job, you did it to yourself.

I agree with this totally. I don't know what you guys are talking about When it comes to Canadian tire being cheaper. Guns and ammo are way more at Canadian tire. Federal trophy bonded tip bullets Are $47 at WSS. CT Is $72. Guns are Marked up ridiculously at Canadian tire. I find Cabela's is generally a little bit more money then WSS too. You can't compare the prices And the bogus sales put on right now by the third-party liquidation company that is Handling the closing of WSS.
