Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid in Memphis, TN, will add a Wahlburgers restaurant concept, unique to Bass Pro Shops. The new concept, called “Wahlburgers Wild,” will be the first of its kind from the Wahlburgers chain of restaurants with locations in 20 states, Canada and Germany.
The first Wahlburgers opened in 2011 in Hingham, MA, and run by the Wahlberg family, including brothers Mark, Donnie and Paul Wahlberg, the head chef for the Wahlburgers locations.
Wahlburgers Wild will mark several firsts for the restaurant chain including being the brand’s first location in Tennessee, first location inside a Bass Pro Shops and first to offer signature wild game menu items.
“As one of the most dynamic and exciting shopping destinations anywhere, Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid strives to offer our customers and guests with an incredible experience, and Wahlburgers Wild will certainly carry on that tradition,” said Johnny Morris, noted conservationist and founder of Bass Pro Shops. “We are very grateful to Mark and the entire Wahlberg family for their friendship, support and enthusiasm in bringing the first Wahlburgers Wild to Bass Pro Shops.”
“On behalf of our entire family, I couldn’t be more excited or proud to partner with our friend Johnny Morris to bring this exciting new Wahlburgers concept to life,” said Mark Wahlberg. “Wahlburgers Wild will offer everything fans love about our restaurants combined with the signature fun and adventure Johnny and Bass Pro Shops offer their guests every day.”
Wahlburgers Wild will occupy the space adjacent to Uncle Buck’s Fishbowl, and guests will be able to order food and beverages while enjoying the 13-lane ocean-themed bowling alley. The menu will also be available as a room service option for guests staying at Big Cypress Lodge, as well as for catering events. Construction is slated to begin soon, with a grand opening date to be set as construction progresses.
