Bass Pro Shops will open a 70,000-square-foot Bass Pro Shops Outpost store in Tallahassee, FL. The new store will be located in the Fallschase Development at the intersection of Mahan and Buck Lake Roads in Tallahassee and is targeted to open in 2013.
“We are excited about the addition of Bass Pro Shops to Fallschase”, said Phillip Duke of Columbus Pacific Properties. “With an anchor line up of Bass Pro Shops, Costco and Super Wal-Mart, Fallschase will be the super-regional retail destination the city and people of Tallahassee had always envisioned”.
“We have enjoyed a long relationship with Florida sportsmen,” stated Johnny Morris, Founder of Bass Pro Shops. “We opened our first Florida store in Ft. Lauderdale 15 years ago and our new Outpost store, our 7th location in this great outdoor state, will be dedicated to better serving the sportsmen of northern Florida and south Georgia.”
“We are very grateful to everyone at Columbus Pacific, owners of the Fallschase, for the opportunity to be one of their feature retail stores along with Costco and Super Wal-Mart,” Morris continued. “Bass Pro Shops will fast track development to enhance and expand the 70,000 square feet of existing retail space. “We want to be open as soon as we can to serve hunters, anglers and all outdoor enthusiasts for the 2013 seasons.”
The store will initially generate approximately 200 jobs which will be offered to the many outdoor enthusiasts in the Tallahassee area.
Bass Pro Shops will host over 120 million people visiting its 77 stores and Tracker Marine Centers across America and Canada this year. The retailer opened its first Outpost store in Branson, MO in 2006.
