I've never heard of Zappos, Cabela's and Garmins.

Before: for shame.

Cabela's...really?

On the subject of Polish brands, the only one I know it's Lech, and that's because of Lech Poznan.

Which of these do you guys recognise (if any)?

Żubrówka and Lech, for the same reason as celedhring.

Think bass pro shops or gander mountain.

Bass pro shops I've heard of, not gander mountain.

It's a massive outdoor sports store. I just bought an inflatable boat there. And a bunch of ammo.

Really? That's cool. I knew that Tyskie had a large international campaign but didn't know about Zywiec and Lech.

Zywiec has been available here for a while and is well thought of among beer geeks who drink imported beer.  Their lager is well-made and the porter is outstanding.  I believe I've had Lech but wasn't too fond of it as it was a bit skunky due to the green bottle.  We also get Okocim.

I ate at one of those in Sioux City, Iowa.  Food wasn't bad and was dirt cheap IIRC.

Really.  What do they do?

:huh:

Doesn't look like great market penetration - I wouldn't know about it except that it was mentioned here.

Tater tot nachos.



They like their tater tots.

Those aren't tater tots, those are Potato Olés!   :ultra:
