The Garner, N.C., store will be a new building with construction scheduled to start next summer and opening in the spring of 2015. The store will employ about 225 workers.

The Sun Prairie, Wisc., project also is a new store to employ about 200 workers. Construction will start next year and opening is set for spring 2015.

Cabela’s operates 48 stores across North America with plans to open an additional 19 over the next two years.
