IMO Saratoga would be the best spot... right near wilton mall. Get rid of all the dinky donk Chinese places and put a real store in.
Imo many anglers wont go to LG to fish in the summer because of the $40 lauch fee, $10 parking, and the LG permit It is an great fishery but can be expensive for a day of fishing!
Probably won't happen. It they do their proper research, they will find out that there is ot enough business to support such a "big box" store, year round. They will probably do well in the summer, but not enough for their large overhead in the off seasons and winter. Also, they will kill our other shops. I for one say HELL, NO! If ou really need something from them that you can't possibly get from our local shops, get it on-line. Support our local shops!
Somewhere near Saratoga would be a likely spot near an exit off Northway. Roundabout land (Malta) missed their chance years ago. Ticonderoga has a vacant Lowes store that closed after being open for about two years. It really hurt the local economy when it closed and it would be great if a Cabelas or Bass Pro could fill up that space. However, I don't think the traffic is there to support a big retailer; especially during the winter months.
There is enough traffic from boat guys in ticonderoga during the open water season to carry the business through the winter.
No way ..... the carrying costs on a store like that are monstrous ..... they need to be turning out product all day, every day and can't have a stretch of months without heavy traffic.That is exactly why they locate them where they do.
I personally don't want a Cabelas in NY. , someplace like Bennington VT. or Rutland VT. is close enough for me! 1 hr drive and I still wouldn't have to pay NYS tax when I order on line!
