Cabela's may be hunting for a buyer
(AP) — Cabela's, the outdoor sporting goods chain known for its elaborate in-store wildlife displays, may be seeking a buyer.
The retailer has been under pressure since late October when the investment firm Elliott Management started pushing for money-generating maneuvers from Cabela's, possibly the sale of its credit card unit or the entire company.
The company was founded in 1961 when Dick Cabela started selling fishing flies through the mail from his kitchen table with his wife, Mary, and brother, Jim.
