Cabela's is a hunter's and fisherman's Disneyland. The seller of outdoor sporting goods operates mainly through the 60 million-plus catalogs it mails each year, but its eight stores are big attractions, too. Located in Kansas, Nebraska, Michigan, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, the stores are as big as 150,000 sq. ft. and include such features as waterfalls, mountain replicas, and exotic game trophies. Founded in 1961 by Dick Cabela and still owned by his family, the company sells footwear, clothing, and gear for fishing, hunting, camping, and other outdoor activities. Cabela's also sells merchandise online, has an outdoors show on ESPN2, and offers worldwide hunting and fishing trips.
