Cabela's is coming to East Hartford

Cabela's is opening a 200,000 square foot "outdoor experience" store at the old United Technologies airfield. This would be the first New England store for Cabela's, will employ 450 workers, cost $35-45 million dollars to build, and could between 3 and 4 million visitors a year. This will be a destination superstore, bigger than the other two superstores in Texas and Kansas.
