Bass Pro Shops Swimming to Mirabel
Monday, June 6th, 2011Bass Pro Shops, is a grown man’s candy store. They have announced that they will be opening an outdoor superstore at Lac Mirabel. The store will offer outdoor enthusiasts 3 acres of shopping for equipment and clothing for hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, backpacking, wildlife viewing, camping, outdoor cooking and more. A gift and nature center will also serve up a wide variety of outdoor-related items from lamps and dishes to bird feeders and furniture.
As well, an expansive boat showroom will feature Tracker, Nitro, SunTracker, Grizzly, and Tahoe boats and a boat service center will also be available.
At the Bass Pro shops I have been in, the decor is to take the outdoors and bring it indoors. The lobby could be a massive log and rock room made to feel like a hunting lodge. You can immerse yourself in departments for: fishing (rods, reels, lures), fly fishing (Penn, Shimano, G-Loomis), hunting (from camo to ammo), golf (try it out on the driving net or putting green), boating, archery (indoor range), camping, a footwear department and an indoor boat show.
The rest of the family might be able to enjoy a waterfall, aquarium, trout pool, an indoor shooting range, wildlife exhibits and historic photos and memorabilia. Some of the stores have a fresh fish market and fish restaurant.
