Bass Pro Shopswill open its 66th store later in February 2014. The 130,000-square-foot store is located at 2 Commerce Drive in Hooksett, NH.
The store will be managed by Bob Pope, who joins Bass Pro Shops with more than 20 years of retail expeirence. He was general manager of Modell's Sporting Goods in Newton, MA for four years and spent 10 years as a manager at Circuit City. Most recently he was the operations manager and assistant store manager at the Bass Pro Shops store in Foxborough, MA.
Pope will lead a staff of approximately 200-250 associates from the Hooksett area who are knowledgeable about the outdoors and ready to help customers make the most of their adventures.
Pope grew up camping, boating, and swimming with his family in Massachusetts, but says New Hampshire was always like a second home.
“Some of my best camping trip memories are from my adventures in New Hampshire,” said Pope. “As a kid, my family went to Lake Winnipesaukee in Moultonborough every summer. We camped at Greenfield State Park and I've climbed Mt. Monadnock dozens of times.”
