????卡貝拉公司

????戶外連鎖店卡貝拉在全美擁有50多家大型門店，2013年它在德州韋科市的新店開張時，許多人前一天早上8點就冒雨在門口排起了長隊。

????但這家公司在1961年的起步之路卻異常艱辛。創(chuàng)始人迪克?卡貝拉已于2014年2月去世。

????Cabela's

????The outdoor superstore has more than 50 enormous outposts across the country, with the 2013 Waco store opening attracting a line in the rain beginning at 8 a.m.the day before.

????But the company got started very humbly in 1961 by Dick Cabela, who died in February 2014.

????Cabela first placed a newspaper ad to sell fishing flies in a local paper, but the ad received just one response. He then lowered his price, and more people responded. From there he grew a mailing list. Dick and his wife, Mary, first ran their burgeoning business from their kitchen in Chappell, Neb. When it outgrew the kitchen, Cabela’s moved to the basement of Dick’s father’s furniture store in 1964.

????After moving to a few other locations, in 1969 their next site began to show signs of the scale we know Cabela’s for today: it was a 50,000 square-foot former John Deere building in Sidney, Neb.
