Bass Pro Shops To Open Pittsburgh Location
March 14, 2024
Bass Pro Shops is planning to open a location in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The outdoor superstore will open its doors in South Fayette Township in the southwest suburb of the town.
Bass Pro Shops’ newest store will be the company’s third in the state of Pennsylvania. It will also be its first location in western Pennsylvania and will encompass a 100,000-square-foot two-level Outdoor World retail store, part of Newbury Market.
The shop plans to offer a wide selection of hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation gear the company has become famous for in the industry. The superstore’s inventory is specifically tailored to the region of the new location.
“It’s an honor to have the opportunity to serve the sportsmen and women in the Pittsburgh area, with genuine friendly, expert service and to help outfit them for adventures as they enjoy Pennsylvania’s great outdoors,” said Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris.

Craig Cozza of Cozza Enterprises, the developer of Newbury Market, shared his excitement. “We are extremely excited to have such a great and unique retail brand join our Newbury Market development,” he said. “This one-of-a-kind super retailer will differentiate our project from all others, and will catalyze other one-of-a-kind new to market concepts to join us. We are absolutely thrilled.”
In addition to hunting and fishing gear, Bass Pro Shops sells equipment for outdoor activities like hiking, backpacking, and camping. There will also be a nature and gift center that sells “outdoor-themed” items, including Big Cedar Home & Cabin decor and accessories.
Bass Pro Shops locations feature a large aquarium and water features stocked with native fish species, thousands of local antiques and artifacts, hundreds of trophy fish and wildlife mounts, and murals depicting local scenes.
Bass Pro Shops was founded in 1972 when Morris began selling tackle from his father’s liquor store in Springfield, Missouri. While Bass Pro Shops already has two stores in the state, this location will be western Pennsylvania’s first.
This retail attraction is expected to open in early 2026. The store is expected to hire more than 130 employees.
