Berlin, MA Opened earlier this spring, Cabela’s retail location in the town is the first Massachusetts location for the Nebraska-based hunting, fishing, camping and outdoor gear retailer.  The 100,000 s/f facility is one of 70 stores across North America, providing an outdoor-like experience for shoppers.

The store’s exterior was fitted with log construction, stonework, wood siding, metal roofing and a large glass storefront to reflect Cabela’s popular store model, while the interior features a mountain replica, aquarium and museum-like wildlife displays. In addition, an indoor archery range, gun library, bargain cave, deli and fudge shop are highlights of the retail location.

Wayne J. Griffin Electric, Inc. was tasked with the installation of complete electrical and site lighting for the facility.  Additionally, systems for service, distribution and emergency generator were setup by the Griffin Electric team during construction.  Extensive under slab and floor box work was also included in the electrical contract, which ranged from deep and shallow areas throughout.

Kraus-Anderson was the general contractor assigned to the project, working directly with architect, Crabtree Rohrbaugh & Associates, and electrical engineer, Bala Consulting Engineers. 

“The construction of a retail establishment stimulates the economic growth of our region, as it keeps our trades employed, as well as creates additional jobs upon completion,” said Wayne Griffin, president of Griffin Electric.
