Cabelas coming to Peterborough?

Anyone else hearing rumours that Cabelas might be considering the vacant Sears store in Peterborough?

I did hear something along those lines a while ago. It would be great IMO. We have nothing around here, in the heart of the kawartha's!!!

S.

There are enough businesses within an hour of Peterboro without showing support for an American company. Accuracy Plus, Easthill, Gagnon's, Trombley's and many more.

Would be surprised if this was the case! I have not heard this rumor!

Peterborough is now a giant geriatric Toronto retirement residence with not much demand for outdoor products that aren't already supplied by Canadian Tire, WalMart and several local "mom and pop" sporting goods outlets within an hour drive. That Sears store is humongous and I doubt Cabela's/BassPro could fill it and move all that merchandise in a limited market city.

trimmer,

Ya know I love you like a brother but do you need to inject politics into every other post.

Do you live there? I can't stand PTBO, full of low life scum bag, drug addicts and thief's.

I'd still like a cabelas. I shop at all my local guys first, but there are some things they would be handy for.
