Cabela's
Was watching the NECN news and heard that Cabela's is trying to or did buy land in Plainville, MA. for a new store. Guess with Bass Pro going to open up in Foxboro the location is close by to spur competition. The story was about the Conn. store that Cabels's is doing and if the Plainville store would eliminate the need for the Conn. store. I guess they are going to do both stores. Paul

Just look at it this way, Cabelas will be paying a good portion of the tax bill. It does not mean that you will have lesser taxes but it will keep your rate from increasing for a short period of time.

there was an article in the globe about it yesterday, apparently Cabela's in looking for infrastructure help from the state to build the store. I think the story is they were originally looking at building in New Hampshire, but the news about Bass Pro Shops coming to Foxboro changed their minds, as it should, I mean, this is bassachusetts.
you guys think that since these shops are coming to mass, that they will have bigger saltwater sections? Maybe they can make a wave pool and stock it with stripers? LOL

Build your own roads Cabelas, clearly you have the money. Small shops (not just tackle shops) are fading away thanks to companies like this that want tax breaks and infrastructure support. Nothing better then seeing your tax dollars pay for something that hurts you.  |

pete, both you and don have got it exactly right. they are just a smaller version of the wallmart plague. what will you give me to run some of your local businesses out of town seems to be their basic approach.

re: Cabelas
I read this on boston.com. I believe the location where they plan to build is near or in Plainville Crossing, which is a new shopping center that already has a Target, Panera Bread, and Ann & Hope (or something like that). That would put a Bass Pro and Cabelas within 5 miles of my house.
I wonder if these national boys are going to promote the local flavors in their offerings?

I live 5 minutes from that plaza. If they build the cableas over there it will be right near the ramps for the highway. Not looking forward to the traffic down there!  |

This Cabela's thing is something else. I just got back from seeing an old friend that lives in NH. Apparently Cabela's is serious about a spot in NH. Very atttactive to them, on the way to north country hunting, and nto too far from SW Fishing.
Cabela's seems to be entertaining a number of sites, or they'll be like Wal Mart and have one in each state.

The Cabelas in PA is the number 1 tourist attraction in PA.
The dead town that was there is springing to life. Fast food and other retail are moving in by it.

Thats along the same lines that my friend metioned. The town of Hookset got calls from the Marriott corp letting them know that there will be interest in hotels in the area, resturaunts Yada yada. Along with helping the town with improving services like wastemanagement. A no brainer to the folks up there.
Of course the state will love it, the exit will be just after the first toll booth.
