Bass Pro Shop Superstore to open November in Sevierville

What great news this is! The huge 135,000 square foot superstore is 65% complete and this week the local Job Fair saw over 1,000 applicants sign up for jobs! There are still 240 full time and part time positions open and they encourage anyone with retail experience or training experience to apply. Although the Grand Opening is set for November 15, the actual opening will occur in October.

The store will feature a 25,000 gallon aquarium and a 3 story waterfall. When completed it will also feature an Isla Morada Seafood Restaurant and “ultimately, we’ll probably have a Starbucks Coffee bar on the inside, too,” said General Manager Jim Osborne, who has been with the business for six year.

The company is very community oriented and Osborne said, “we have a lot of donation requests that we get on a regular basis. We try to hit as many as we can, our focus being on conservation and youth.”

In fact, on November 16, the store will hold an Evening for Conservation event and we can expect to see this type of responsible public event very often. Welcome to Sevierville Bass, we’re very happy to have you here!
