Cabela’s tackles March 17 League City opening

​LEAGUE CITY – Cabela’s Inc., a retailer of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, will open its first Houston-area store on March 17.

The 72,000-sf store, which was announced in October 2014, is at 2421 S. Gulf Fwy.

It is an anchor tenant in Houston-based Pinnacle Alliance Fund Inc.’s new League City development, Pinnacle Park.

The store features Cabela’s new layout and will include an aquarium, an indoor archery range, an express cafe and other elements. Cabela’s hired 170 employees for the League City store, and they will host educational seminars and demonstrations throughout the year.

This is Cabela’s sixth store in Texas, in addition to its stores in Fort Worth, Buda, Allen, Waco and Lubbock.

Cabela’s will be adjacent to Big League Dreams Sports Parks in the northern portion of Pinnacle Park. The approximately 100-acre development is along I-45 South at Big League Dreams Parkway. 

Pinnacle Alliance bought the site in December 2013 with plans to turn it into a high-quality, mixed-use development that would include office, medical, dining, leisure, retail and multifamily/residential uses.

In November, Memorial Hermann Health System’s board of directors approved the purchase of 13 acres in Pinnacle Park to build a nearly 47,000-sf convenient care center—the largest of its kind for the Houston-based health system.
