Signed Off - Bass Pro Finally Reels in a Deal

Signed Off - Bass Pro Finally Reels in a Deal

July 7, 20171 min read

Earlier this week, federal regulators finally signed off on the approval for Bass Pro to acquire rival Cabela’s for a projected $4 billion dollars.


The deal includes Cabela’s retail and online properties, as well as the lucrative credit card unit that is part of the chain. Cabela’s shareholders are expected to vote July 11 on whether to accept the privately held Bass Pro’s offer of $61.50 per share.


So, what will this mean for Cabela’s 82 locations and Bass Pro’s 95 retail stores? With Bass Pro’s one major rival acquired, how will it affect prices, competition and loyal customers? As well, with any acquisition or merger, there will be duplication. What can Bass Pro employees in Missouri or the 2,000 Cabela’s staff in Nebraska expect?
