Bass Pro Shops Opens New Outdoor World Retail Destination in Spring
Bass Pro Shops celebrated the grand opening of its new Outdoor World retail destination in Spring on October 2, 2024. The occasion, marked with a special Evening for Conservation, was open to the public, introducing the newest addition to the company's retail circuit in Texas. The freshly minted 125,000-square-foot store is Bass Pro Shops' 16th location in Texas and the fourth serving the greater Houston market, delivering a "best-of-the-best" product selection, expert service, and guaranteed low prices to outdoor enthusiasts.
The grand opening event, followed by an outdoor star-studded program and ribbon cutting, provided the public's first look at the new retail location as the store officially opened for business. Entertainment kicked off with a performance by country music singer and songwriter Blaine Holcomb. The occasion featured special appearances from legendary anglers, popular entertainment figures, and leaders in conservation such as Dustin Connell, Chuck Belmore, Kevin VanDam, and U.S. National Archery Team member Lance Thornton. The opening was also graced by PAW Patrol characters and Hall of Fame angler Charlie Evans.
The Grand Opening weekend was not only comprised of celebrity appearances but also included family activities, giveaways, and more. For every dollar spent during the Evening for Conservation, 10 percent was pledged to local conservation organizations.
Bass Pro Shops, founded by avid young angler Johnny Morris in 1972, has grown from a single location in an 8-square-foot section of his father’s liquor store in Springfield, Missouri, to being North America’s premier outdoor and conservation company. Recognized as the world's leading supplier of premium fishing tackle, it has also been voted America’s #1 retailer for camping and outdoor gear for three consecutive years.
