The new retail store would be part of The Pointe at Post Falls, an 800,000-square-foot-shopping center located at Exit 299 off Interstate 90 and East Appleway Ave. near the Washington/Idaho State line.
The Post Falls Cabela's would be built in Cabela's trademark style that evokes the feeling of the outdoors. Cabela's stores are known as top-notch educational and entertainment attractions, mixing a decor of museum-quality animal displays with colorful dioramas, huge aquariums stocked with native fish and a centerpiece indoor mountain displaying trophy animals interacting in realistic re-creations of their natural habitats.
Product offerings will include hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, boating and other outdoor gear, as well as outdoor clothing and outdoors-styled gifts and furnishings.
"Cabela's decision to locate a regional store in Post Falls further strengthens our economic future and recognizes the importance of our region," said Jim Hammond, the former Post Falls city manager who has been involved with the project since its inception.
"Cabela's will anchor a major retail center, bringing jobs and economic development to Post Falls. We look forward to making them a part of our retail community."
