Nulle,
Showroom SQ Ft may be closely comparable but the aisles are closer together in Cabelas which allows more variety of "stuff". I actually like Sportsmans for having a more open layout because I'm more of an in and out type shopper. I know what I want before I get there and don't like dealing with the crowds on the weekends. Cabelas marketing of their retail showrooms is as a end destination for folks. For example Sidney, Neb doesn't exactly have much for tourist appeal other than Cabelas. They expected folks to spend a full day at their store, therefore RV parking, semi parking, dog runs and now hotels, restraunts etc. Cabela also has the infamous catalog and web site. If you pull up Sportsmans Warehouse on the web they're a toddler in comparison. SW gets a lot of what used to be my Cabela biz because they are 10 min from my house, so I don't have to make a list and I don't have to pay freight or gas $ or use one of my days off to travel to Sidney ( 2hrs one way ). Personally, unless I'm looking for something in specific, SW will get most of my day to day biz. If I want to get out of town, shop the bargain cave, stroke a bunch of high end guns I'll road trip to Sidney. For your day to day items I think SW will probably beat Cabelas easily because they just don't have the overhead.
