Bass Pro Shop Gets FTC Approval to Buy Cabela's

Looks like it's finally going to happen.

Hopefully cabelas keeps their prices on some stuff, especially powders and bullets, because they are much better priced on that than BP

Might not though if shareholders vote against the deal. I believe the vote happens today from the article I read last week.

The likely scenario is that many Cabelas get shut down.

I doubt that the Hammond store and the Bass Pro in Portage both remain operating.

This news is disheartening. All my life I have never lived near a large outdoor store. I moved to central Indiana and got a Cabelas. For once I could just walk around the store and enjoy myself without shipping costs. Now this. With no BP around, I just hope that Noblesville stays open.

 

[IndyTom]

I don't think they'd close Noblesville unless they pull a Gander Mountain in a few years.

 

[Dimitrivich]

Precisely my fear.

You can bet they aren't going to compete against themselves but it makes sense that Cabelas stores with no BP nearby would remain open.
