Cabela's, which bills itself as the world's foremost outfitter, opens its third Michigan location in Grandville on March 21 and plans to have some 200 new part-time, full-time, and seasonal employees ready to serve customers.
The new 88,000-square-foot store (44th St. at Ivanrest) is part of a 43-acre mixed-use project under development by CWD Real Estate Investment, who purchased the former X-Rite property in 2009.
Cabela's, a stand-alone building within that development, will feature an indoor replica mountain populated with North American game animals, an indoor archery range where customers can try out archery gear before purchasing, a deli, and a 40-flavor fudge shop.
Although many of the jobs are filled, this week Cabela's website listed several positions still open, including retail marketing manager, boat/ATV service mechanic, power sports sales outfitter, and gun library manager.
Cabela's spokesperson Wes Remmer says the company encourages interested applicants to visit the store's website, complete an application, and submit a résumé.
"Being retail, jobs are always opening up," Remmer says. "We're looking for people passionate about the outdoors and who love to provide good customer service."
