Cabela’s Canada is looking to hire about 200 full-time and part-time workers to staff its new Barrie store this summer.

The company is accepting applications through its website now.

Interviews are set to take place April 23 to 26 at the Holiday Inn Hotel on Fairview Road.

The company expects most hires to be local.

“We are looking for knowledgeable and passionate outdoor enthusiasts who will uphold Cabela’s legendary customer service,” said Rick Hunter, general manager of the new store, in a news release. “Barrie is a great location for Cabela’s…”

The 70,000-square-foot store – Cabela’s first Ontario location – is being built at Park Place on Mapleview Drive.

Applications can be made at its website.

Cabela’s has 51 stores across North America with plans to open 23 more over the next two years.
