Cabela’s Looks to Sell Credit Card Business

A funny thing has happened on the road to selling Cabela’s, the giant retailer of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear. The company, instead of placing the entire 27-store chain on the block, has decided to first sell its highly profitable credit card operation, The Post has learned. And since Cabela’s is seeking special conditions to the sale of its credit card operation — the Sidney, Neb., company wants to retain the profit stream from the business — some close to the process think an eventual sale of the brick-and-mortar chain may never occur, sources said.
