Cabela’s is a well-known retail company specializing in outdoor recreation merchandise. Founded in 1961 by Richard Cabela in Chappell, Nebraska, it initially started as a mail-order business focusing on fishing and hunting gear. Over the years, it grew into a large retail chain with stores across the United States and Canada.

Cabela’s stores are famous for their massive size and elaborate outdoor-themed displays, which often include features like large aquariums, taxidermy exhibits, and realistic outdoor dioramas. They offer a wide range of products, including hunting, fishing, camping, and hiking gear, as well as clothing and footwear designed for outdoor activities.

In 2017, Cabela’s was acquired by Bass Pro Shops, another major outdoor retail chain. The merger aimed to combine their resources and enhance their market presence. Despite the acquisition, Cabela’s has continued to operate under its own brand name, and many of its stores have remained open, often integrating Bass Pro Shops’ products and services.
