Its official Edmonton is the largest population of rednecks in North America.  Huge cities in the US don’t have two stores and two WWS.

   The opening starts at 11:00 am today. Ron Fibke will be there showing off his new boat. The new store is located on manning drive in Edmonton....

Big mistake they should have opened in Calgary or I think a good place for a store would be gasoline alley. Just can't see them gaining more market share with another Edmonton store, all they did was double their overhead and diluted their customer base.

Thank you very much. I see people using wws quite a bit.

I am happy that it is right near my house for the occasional item.  Mainly I do not buy from the big box stores so I will not be in there very often.

Wow.  I cant believe they opened a second one in Edmonton and haven't put one in Calgary.   Lots of rednecks in the south as well!!  lol

Yeah I dunno I just can't see Edmonton supporting 2 cabelas stores. If people really want to go to cabelas they will drive. It's not like Walmart where you have a million housewives to draw from. I think gasoline alley would have been a great place for another store, you have central Alberta to draw on as well as all the highway 2 traffic. They could be more competitive with bass pro there as well. People might drive past cross iron mills to stop at cabelas. You think lethbridge could support a cabelas Rick?

[jboutdoors5]

I think gasoline alley would have been the perfect place to put one too. Not sure Lethbridge would be as good an option as Red Deer, but maybe better than a second one in Edmonton. Just not sure why they did that.

Didn't support the yanks much before,, won't support them anymore now..

So I checked out the new Cabelas today and it will be awhile before I go back.First off it's much easier for us to go to the southend store,take Anthony Henday south from #16 and badda bing we're there in ten minutes.Second it's a smaller store than the south one.
They did have a good price on sks rifles at $169 and 1320 round crate of ammo for $219. which is pretty good.

Anyway on the way home we stopped in at WSS and holy smokes I don't think there was more than 10 customers in the entire store.

But I did see a real Purdy Ruger Black Hawk in .41 magnum....*drool*
