About the Company

Bass Pro Shops

Outdoor retailer of gear and experiences

Bass Pro Shops designs and runs destination outdoor retailers that sell fishing tackle, hunting gear, camping equipment, boats, and related outdoor goods. Its products and services include a wide catalog and in-store experiences, including full-scale “Outdoor World” retail locations and the Tracker Boat line (boats with motors and trailers) sold as complete packages. The company grew from a small tackle shop into a nationwide retailer through catalogs and immersive stores, and expanded its footprint by acquiring rival Cabela’s, nearly doubling its physical presence. Unlike some mass retailers, Bass Pro Shops emphasizes an experiential shopping environment and outdoor lifestyle branding tied to hands-on gear and boating. Its goal is to be the leading destination for outdoor enthusiasts in North America, making outdoor recreation accessible and enjoyable while growing its retail network and brand presence.
