Cabela's, the retail giant whose presence thrilled Moncton so much it named a street after the store, closed Thursday after less than three years in the city. Brown paper and closed signs now cover the windows of the 50,000-square-foot store at 100 Cabela's Crt. Len Bryden said he was disappointed to find the Moncton Cabela's closed, but he would probably stop at Bass Pro Shops in Dieppe instead. A security guard was breaking the news to Cabela's customers in Moncton on Thursday and directing them to Bass Pro Shops in Dieppe instead. When the store opened, Moncton city council voted to rename the street from Portico Court to Cabela's Court.
