World's Foremost Outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear Cabela's Incorporated announced that it is in negotiations to build one of its destination retail stores in Richfield, Wisconsin.
Cabela's would locate on an approximately 60-acre site in Washington County generally described as the triangle formed by the intersections of U.S. Highway 41, U.S. Highway 45 and State Highway 145 in the towns of Richfield and Polk. Plans call for approximately 20 acres of the 60-acre site to be developed by additional businesses that could include hotels, restaurants, complementary retail stores or other travel and tourism-related businesses.
'Bringing this store to Richfield has been a major cooperative effort by the towns of Richfield and Polk, Governor Jim Doyle's Administration, Representative Sue Jeskewitz and Washington County among others,' said Ken Miller, Chairman of the Washington County Board. 'Based on the potential for positive economic development and the number of jobs that would come to Cabela's retail store, they are excited about what the future holds for Richfield, Washington County and the Metro-Milwaukee Region.'
If ongoing negotiations for the project conclude successfully, Cabela's expects to open the retail showroom, which could be as large as 165,000-square-feet in size, in late summer or early fall of 2006. This would be the second Cabela's destination retail store in Wisconsin. The company currently operates a smaller retail storeand massive distribution center in Prairie du Chien.
