Just yesterday, Bass Pro Shops was named America’s No. 1 Most Trusted Retailer for Outdoor Gear for the fourth consecutive year by Newsweek

JACKSON COUNTY, Miss. – “Mississippi is proud to welcome Bass Pro Shops to the Lemoyne Landing development, a project that exemplifies the best of what our state has to offer — strong partnerships, a thriving economy, and a deep appreciation for the outdoors. Bass Pro Shops’ decision to invest in Jackson County speaks volumes about the region’s potential as a hub for economic opportunity and tourism. This is a win for Mississippi families, sportsmen, and communities across the Gulf Coast,” said Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves.

“Jackson County is thrilled to welcome Bass Pro Shops to the community. Bass Pro Shops is not just a retail powerhouse but also a community partner that shares our values of conservation and outdoor recreation. This transformative development represents a significant investment in our county’s future, and we are proud to play a role in bringing such an iconic brand to the Gulf Coast,” said Barry Cumbest, President of the Jackson County Board of Supervisors.

Bass Pro Shops’ newest store, conveniently located along the I-10 corridor, will be the company’s second in the great state of Mississippi, and the first in the southern part of the state. The 75,000 square-foot outdoor superstore will build on Bass Pro Shops’ reputation of serving passionate sportsmen and women with the widest selection of quality products at the best prices around, while providing genuine, friendly expert service and is expected to open early 2027.

“We are very excited to have the opportunity to serve the sportsmen and women in the Gulfport-Biloxi Region and are proud to become members of this celebrated outdoor community,” said legendary angler, noted conservationist and Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris.

Since its founding in 1972, Bass Pro Shops has blazed a new trail in the retail experience for outdoor enthusiasts. As millions of families know, a trip to a Bass Pro Shops is more than a retail experience; it’s an adventure, a mini-vacation, a celebration of nature and an educational and enriching outing for the entire family. People leave a Bass Pro Shops store with more than a bag of outdoor gear. They leave with a smile, a greater appreciation for nature and a dream of spending more time fishing, hunting, camping and hiking.

Proudly Standing Alongside Customers To Support Conservation

Conservation forms the heart and soul of Bass Pro Shops and is an ethic that dates back to the earliest days of the company’s founding. Alongside the customers they serve, Bass Pro Shops over the past decade, has proudly donated more than 10% of earnings to support conservation programs in the local communities and across North America.

At locations throughout North America, customers are invited to “round up” their purchases at the register and online through the Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Outdoor Fund, to join the cause and advance programs aimed at conserving habitat and wildlife, advocating for sportsmen’s rights and connecting new audiences to the outdoors.

Experiential Retail Destination With Immersive Outdoor Features

Envisioned as a tribute to the great sporting heritage of the region and a celebration of the sportsmen and women of southern Mississippi, the store will build on the signature qualities that define the award-winning Bass Pro Shops shopping experience, combining retail with entertainment, outdoor education and conservation.

In addition to providing customers with the outdoor products they love, a team of talented artists and craftsmen will design the store’s localized imagery to reinforce its immersive outdoor theme. The signature creativity and attention to detail are hallmarks of every experience from Johnny Morris, who often is referred to as “The Walt Disney of the Outdoors” for his knack of creating immersive experiences that connect people with nature.

10% Discount Every Day to Honor Those on the Front Lines

Bass Pro Shops Legendary Salute Program honors veterans, active military, law enforcement officers, firefighters, and state fish and wildlife agency employees, with a 10% discount on almost everything in all Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s locations in the United States and Canada (with a 5% discount on firearms and ammo). This program honors those who have or are currently serving on the front lines in Mississippi and throughout the country who defend our freedoms including our opportunities to hunt, fish and spend time in the great outdoors.
