Woodbury Cabela's Project to Begin in July

The new store will be built at the southwest corner of Radio Drive and Interstate 94, just north of Tamarack Village.

Work on a new Cabela’s in Woodbury is expected to begin a bit sooner than initially anticipated.

Thomas L. Roepke, vice president/director of operations for Kraus-Anderson Construction Co., said the project should begin in early July.

Cabela’s in mid-January announced its plans to build a new store in Woodbury. A company spokesman said at the time the work would begin this fall.

Report: Construction Company Chosen for New Woodbury Cabela’s

The 85,000-square-foot store will be built at the southwest corner of Radio Drive and Interstate 94, just north of Tamarack Village. It’s set to open in the fall of 2014.

The Woodbury location will be small compared to other Cabela’s stores, the Pioneer Press reported earlier this month, as some span 250,000 square feet. Kraus-Anderson built Minnesota’s other three Cabela’s stores, according to the Pioneer Press story.

Cabela’s expects to hire 185 full- and part-time workers, according to a January news release.

“Minnesota offers a tremendous array of outdoor pursuits and that has been highlighted by the commitment and loyalty of Cabela’s customers across the state,” CEO Tommy Millner said in the release. “Cabela’s has had remarkable success in the East Grand Forks, Owatonna and Rogers locations and we expect similar results in Woodbury.”

The building’s exterior will have the typical Cabela’s look: log construction, stonework, wood siding and metal roofing.

The inside will feature the retailer’s “next-generation layout, designed to surround customers in an outdoor experience, including dynamic wildlife displays and trophy animal mounts displayed on a mountain. The store will also feature a Boat Shop, Gun Library, aquarium, Bargain Cave and Fudge Shop,” according to the release.
