Bass Pro is open on Thanksgiving,Only holiday is closed is Christmas. Volunteers first then if you dont show up you get a written warning. Cabelas has always been closed on Thanksgiving but now Bass Pro owns it.
Well that article IS WRONG! I work at one of the retail stores and we will be open. It's probably not public information yet and wasn't released to the media. Employees only found out about a week ago.
This article, dated 10/5/17 says Cabela's is closed.

Even though http://www.cabelas.com/category/Thanksgiving-Sale/571845780.uts does not say we are closed, a google search will give the that impression...

I used to much html code in my last post and it got removed...I think.
Just an example of not properly cleaning up the website.
Here is an idea...
Since Internet sales are taking over brick and mortar sales, BPS should push for higher online orders on thanksgiving from both BPS and Cabela's. I have a hunch that in-store sales will just barely cover expenses required to open and man the stores. What does it cost to take an online order? I have a hunch, not much?
Even though http://www.cabelas.com/category/Thanksgiving-Sale/571845780.uts does not say we are closed, a google search will give the opposite impression...

The stores WILL be open on Thanksgiving - voluntary (for now) time and 1/2 plus holiday pay
I work at a store. WE WILL BE OPENED. A lot of the websites, including our own, were not updated yet apparently. 8am to 6pm.
