70,000-square-foot Bass Pro Shops near Duluth opens Wednesday
Outdoor enthusiasts in northern Minnesota can now stock up on gear and clothing at a brand new Bass Pro Shops near Duluth.
The Outpost store will celebrate its grand opening Wednesday in the former Camping World building on Haines Road in Hermantown, less than two miles from the Miller Hill Mall.
The new 70,000-square-foot shopping hub offers a large selection of fishing, hunting, camping, hiking and marine gear, electronics, clothing, bikes, boats and more.
A 10,000-gallon, in-store aquarium is home to lake sturgeon, white suckers, walleye, northern pike, muskellunge and other species native to Lake Superior - provided through a partnership with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
The store features several other local touches, such as murals depicting scenes from northern Minnesota.
During Wednesday's "Evening for Conservation" grand opening event, 20% of every dollar spent on most items will be donated to local conservation organizations.
The festivities will also include appearances by notable anglers and hunters, family activities, giveaways and live music by country singer-songwriter Blaine Holcomb.
