I dont think they need to give anything away to attract people.

I think the first 100 people got $100 gift cards, but IDK.

Prizes or not, that store is going to bring alot of people into the town that wouldn't normally come.

Cabelas does an outstanding job. This will be a major push for the businesses in that vicinity. Next time you are in Wheeling, look at what a Cabelas did there. Your store will draw customers from Beckley and Huntington. In terms of sporting stores, they have no equal.
