Bass Pro Shops
In Round Rock and North Austin we love the outdoors. We love our camping, we love the local fishing, and all other great outdoor activities. In order to feed our habit Bass Pro Shops has decided to set shop (no pun intended) in our backyard, literally. We are so excited that the Austin Business Journal finally confirmed it. Bass Pro Shops is coming to Round Rock!
Bass Pro Shops confirmed Friday that it will open a 104,000-square-foot store in Round Rock at I-35 between Williamson County Road 111 and East Chandler Road.
This will be the retailer’s seventh Texas store and is scheduled to open in 2015. We wrote a bit about the deal in May when it was the talk of the real estate sector.
The store will include a large boat showroom and Uncle Buck’s Fishbowl and Grill, which is a restaurant and fun center.
This new move will generate several new jobs in the area and no doubt a pick up in retail sales that will overflow onto neighboring stores and restaurants. This is great news for the Round Rock economy and local businesses. We can’t wait for our new neighbor and give them a big Texan welcome.
