Well, I hardly got the words out of my keyboard last week about Cabela's doing the Horace Greeley thing and sure enough, here they come!!

This mornings Arizona Republic announced that Cabela's will build a 40 million buck store on the West side of the Valley of the Sun. Wow!

So let's see, Greater Phoenix (The Valley of the Sun in other words) will have:
3 Sportsman's Warehouses
1 Bass Pro Shop
1 Cabela's
3 or 4 "regular" Fly Shops (depending on how you look at Orvis)
Umteen Wally Worlds (that sell Orvis rods)

Gee, I wonder how many buckets of corporate blood are going to be shed?

BTW, the population totals is somewhere between 2.5 & 3.5 million I think.
