Cabela’s continues to fight rumors

Cabela’s has no plans to close its Gonzales retail store, despite persistent rumors to the contrary. In a response aimed at quelling erroneous information, Cabela’s CEO Tommy Millner issued a statement earlier this week, insisting the company remains committed to the Gonzales store and the community as a whole. “The Gonzales store is a valuable part of our retail operation and its hard-working employees are cherished members of our family,” Millner says. “There is absolutely no truth to the rumors Cabela’s plans to close the store. We’re proud to be able to serve our loyal Louisiana customers, as well as the many visitors to the state, and plan to do so well into the future.” Since opening in October 2007, millions of customers from Louisiana and surrounding states have visited and shopped at the Gonzales store. More than 200 people are employed at the store, located at Interstate 10 and La. Highway 30. To read the rest of 10/12 Corridor Weekly, click here.
