I was happy to see one news outlet emphasize how local retailers are already competing with Cabela's and Bass Pro due to their significant online presence, so having a bricks and mortar presence in Moncton does not necessarily mean the death of their competitors.
I can see one outdoors store being negatively affected, however, here in Moncton. Considering they were on Kijiji the other night shilling for angel investors (yes on Kijiji) I fear the worst for them, but would guess the writing was on the wall before Cabela's ever came.
If one compares Cabela's prices with the same or very similar products at Green Diamond Outfitters, or Cdn Tire, it is clear that Cabela's doesn't plan to compete on price but rather on the Cabela's experience, superlative service, superior quality and great guarantee.
There will always be those who cross the street to the other retailers in order to save $1.
