If you do some research you will find Jonny Morris, was not the downfall of Cabelas . when the last Cables brother wanted to retire, the kids only wanted the money so they sold the franchise to foreign investors that stripped the company of all quality products and replaced them with imported junk. After almost going bankrupt in a couple short years, Morris stepped in and bought the Cabelas name. He has been slowly replacing import products with quality products but then the virus hit us all. Quality products are extremely hard to find so it will take some time for Candles and even Bass Pro to recover. In my area I have numerous big name sporting goods stores and all are in the same boat trying to get quality products. Was a real shame the Cabela family was so greedy that they refused to keep the family legend moving ahead. Just another example of what happens when a good American grown company sells out to foreign interests, we all loose
Where did you get that from... some article? You obviously don't know Morris. The term "imported junk" is a Bass Pro trademark. They make their money selling Chinese clothing and squiggly fishing lures they buy for 15 cents and sell for seven dollars. All the fishing rods and reels are made in China. The guns and scopes Bass Pro sells are the same as Cabelas and every other sporting goods store always has. What are these majorities of "quality" "not imported" products that Bass Pro sells?
Bass Pro puts a fancy inside to draw tourists from out of state then sell them jacked up pricing Chinese junk. Morris threatened his home city of Springfield MO to move all his corporates and the main Bass Pro to another state if they let a Cabelas be built 40 miles away in Branson. He predates on predominantly smaller city locations many are tourism dependent and always fights the city council if they allow competing sporting goods stores in his area. The guy is the Bill Gates of Chinese junk sporting goods.
