SIDNEY, Neb. (AP) -- Outdoor outfitter Cabela's has announced plans to build its first retail store in Colorado next year.

Cabela's says the store in western Colorado's Grand Junction should open next summer.

The 75,000-square-foot Grand Junction store will anchor the south end of Mesa Mall. Many of Cabela's other retail stores have at least 125,000 square feet, and they are usually free-standing stores near major highways.

The Sidney, Neb.-based company says the new store will resemble its existing ones from the outside, but it will use an updated layout inside.
