Cabela’s to begin hiring for new East Hartford, Connecticut Store.
Here is the latest press release about Cabela’s, the World’s Foremost Outfitter, of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear. They are in the process of building New Englands first Cabela’s store right here in East Hartford, CT.
I am from Connecticut and I do use Cabela’s quite often and let me tell you the new store will not only boost the revenue for the state of Connecticut but, it will also add a new location for tourists that come to our great state to visit.
From what I have seen in their catalogs and from what I have heard, just going to see their stores is a treat and I for one will visit just as soon as they open which sounds like mid October.
From past experiences in dealing with Cabela’s their product is second to none and if you order online or through the mail I can also say that I have never had a problem with ordering. I will be posting more info on their progress towards opening the new store as it comes in so check back often.
