Cabela's Inc. is an American retailer that specializes in hunting, fishing, boating, camping, and other outdoor recreation merchandise.

The brand’s retail locations feature wildlife exhibits and outdoor designs, and are viewed as tourist attractions.

[19] In 2010, the Canadian Head Office and Distribution Centre moved across the city, leaving the original location as only a retail store.

The company had intended to be a part of the 1,400,000-square-foot (130,000 m2) Lac-Mirabel project near Montreal, which was to include 220,000 square feet (20,000 m2) of retail space, and was planned to open in 2008.

[29] Cabela's Legendary Adventures sponsored Richard Childress Racing driver Daniel Hemric during the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series in partnership with Bass Pro Shops.

[33][34] Cabela's previously had a deck lid space on Martin Truex Jr.'s Bass Pro Shops car, now a logo on his race suit.

[35][36] In 2019, Cabela’s became a sponsor of Project Childsafe, a National Shooting Sports Foundation program that promotes safe firearms handling and responsible storage.

[39] Other sponsorships include Safari Club International,[40] National Archery in the Schools Program,[41] Project Childsafe,[42] & the Catch a Dream Foundation.

[48][49] In 2023, Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s started the Proud Veteran Outfitter Vest Program and provided Veteran Outfitters (those who work at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s) with vests they can wear to work that include their name, military branch and rank, and the U.S.

[53] Customers at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's can donate to it by choosing to round up their purchases to support different conservation partners and projects.

[70] In 2011, Cabela’s World’s Foremost Bank agreed to pay $10.1 million in restitution and a $250,000 fine as part of a settlement agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

[70] As part of the merger with Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's sold the World's Foremost Bank aspect of their business, including over $1 billion in assets, to Synovus Financial Corp. and Capital One Financial Corp.[73] After the deal was completed, Synovus planned to sell the credit card assets and related liabilities to Capital One Bank (USA) NA.
