Another group of former Cabela's employees has announced an e-commerce business selling outdoors gear.
Nexgen Outfitters said Thursday that it has launched its website, which sells hunting, archery and camping gear, as well as apparel.
With more than a century of combined experience in the outdoor retail industry, Nexgen Outfitters' leadership understands the importance of quality products, fair prices, and superior customer service.
"Nexgen Outfitters was born out of a passion for the outdoors," Trent Santero, co-founder of Nexgen Outfitters, said in a news release. "We spend countless hours in the field with friends and family every year, demanding the very best from our gear. We believe in equipment that builds tradition and gear that can be handed down to the next generation to ensure the future of our lifestyle."
