"Cabelas boasts 176,000 sq.ft. of floor space ... with every imaginable item for the avid hunting, fishing and camping enthusiast."


Cabelas was the 'hot-ticket' that sparked the construction boom at The Highlands. It's little wonder as Cabelas has become the 'must stop' superstore for millions of outdoor enthusiasts since opening their doors in August '04. With a massive 176,000 square feet of floor space Cabelas stocks about every imaginable item the avid hunting, fishing and camping enthusiast could want.


In 2006 a Wild Escape Theme Park was announced. The park will include both indoor and outdoor rides and amusements as well as noted entertainers. Hotels and spas will eventually round out the park development.
A permit from the State of West Virginia was issued in March '09 that allows work to begin effective March 21. However, due to changes brought on by the Corps of Engineers, the project had to be reconfigured. Earth moving will now involve 15 million cubic yards instead of 8 million.  Water and sewer lines must also be reconfigured. Due to the expansive nature of the project the park will be constructed in multiple phases over the course of several years.


The Highlands has seen a large number of store openings in recent years including major retailers Target, Wal-Mart, Kohl's and JC Penney. The Power Center features a nice mix of stores including Books-A-Million, Fashion Bug, TJ Maxx, Lane Bryant, Michaels Arts & Crafts, Best Buy and many more.
