Generally no, believe it or not.

They usually work out a deal with the state to avoid that.

Their tactics in regards to dodging state sales tax generally raises an eyebrow in every state they come to.

If we were to open a 2nd SWE in MA or CT we'd have to charge tax to customers in those states on Internet and phone sales even if it shipping from here in RI. Currently, Cabela's opens up a store and they don't.

Other stunts include parts of some stores being designated "museums" since the public helped fund them, to further dodge taxes.
