John
L. Morris, began his career
in sporting goods with a fishing section in the back of a Brown Derby
liquor store owned by his dad, located in Springfield, MO on the road
to Table Rock Lake and Branson, Missouri. That small fishing department
sold homemade bait and worms, proving popular enough that Bass Pro
Shops incorporated in 1972. These homemade baits were so popular that
many people wanted the opportunity to buy these when they had returned
home. Thus began the Bass Pro Shops catalog first mailed in 1974. Soon,
it became the world's largest mail order sporting goods store.
In 1975, to meet the burgeoning demand for Bass Pro Shops exclusive
products, American Rod and Gun was established. Acting as a separate
wholesale entity ARG serves more than 7000 independently owned retail
stores world wide. In 1977, Bass Pro Shops introduced the first
fish-ready complete boat motor and trailer package with the Bass
Tracker.
In 1984, construction began on the Outdoor World Catalog Showroom in
Springfield, MO. Big Cedar Lodge opened in 1988 on Table Rock Lake. In
1995 Bass Pro Shops Sportsman's Warehouse opened in Atlanta, GA, this
is the first store outside the state of Missouri. In November of 2001,
the State of Missouri made use of Outdoor World's popularity as a
tourist destination, and opened the Wonders of Wildlife museum next
door to the store in Springfield.
A Bass Pro Shops store ranges from 300,000 square feet all the way down
to 42,000 square feet, many of them have two levels and are around
150,000 square feet. Around the stores, you will see taxidermy mounts.
All of the stores have an indoor water feature that showcase fish
species that are indigenous to the area with the larger stores having
more than one water feature. In some of these aquariums professional
anglers and store pro-staff hold demonstrations showing the use of an
artificial bait. Bass Pro Shops is also known for its Outdoor Skills
Workshops. These classes are free and open to the public on a first
come first served basis. They teach skills as varied as fly-casting,
Dutch oven cooking, archery hunting, and GPS navigation. The stores
offer people any kind of outdoor equipment they could ever want in one
store.
In 1978 Bass Pro Shops introduced the first "fish ready" professionally
rigged boat packages and in so doing changed the way the marine
industry sold boats. The Bass Tracker came complete with motor, trailer
and optional marine gear. The Tracker Marine Group produces more
recreational boats then any other company in the world. It's brands
include Tracker Boats, Nitro, Sun Tracker, Tahoe, Fisher, Procraft,
Kenner, Mako, Myacht and Sea Craft. It sells these boats in showrooms
attached to every Bass Pro Shops store, in stand alone Tracker
dealerships and to independent marine dealers through out the United
States.
Bass Pro Shops and its owner John L. Morris have had a longtime
interest in NASCAR racing. Bass Pro Shops has sponsored such racers as
Dale Earnhardt, Kerry Earnhardt, and Martin Truex Jr. Truex won the
2004 and 2005 Busch Series championships in the #8 Bass Pro Shops
Chevy, and currently drives the #1 Chevy in the NEXTEL Cup series when
the team moved up in 2006, and finished 11 in the Chase for The Nextel
Cup in 2007.
