About

Cabela's is a specialty outdoor sporting goods retailer offering hunting, fishing, camping, and outdoor recreation gear through large-format destination stores and e-commerce, operating as a sister brand to Bass Pro Shops after the two companies merged in 2017 in a $5.5 billion deal led by Bass Pro's Johnny Morris. Originally founded in 1961 in Chappell, Nebraska by Dick and Mary Cabela as a mail-order hunting and fishing supply company, Cabela's grew into one of America's most recognized outdoor retail brands before the Bass Pro merger. Cabela's maintains its own brand identity and store network alongside Bass Pro Shops.
