"Bass Pro Shops is like the Cracker Barrel of stores: It feels like a full experience to walk into one. Founded in 1972, what was once a small fishing tackle section inside a liquor store has grown to be a chain with nearly 200 locations - and marine centers - across America. Selling everything from fishing rods and hunting gear to camping supplies and coolers, it's a must-shop for any outdoorsy person."
"It simply doesn't feel more touched-by-an-elf than that. Even for families who aren't normally Bass Pro Shops shoppers, the outdoor store has become a holiday tradition. Since 2008, Bass Pro Shops has created a Santa's Wonderland in their stores - in our location, it takes over the area where the boats are sold - filled with everything from crafts and Santa-letter-writing areas, to carousels and games."
Founded in 1972 as a small fishing-tackle section inside a liquor store, Bass Pro Shops has grown into a national chain with nearly 200 locations and marine centers. Stores sell fishing rods, hunting gear, camping supplies, coolers and other outdoor equipment. Bass Pro Shops locations often include aquariums and family-friendly displays useful for occupying young children. Since 2008, many stores have hosted Santa's Wonderland in boat areas featuring crafts, Santa-letter-writing stations, carousels, games and a complimentary 4x6 photo with Santa. Visiting a Santa dates back to the 1840s, grew mainstream by the 1920s, and photo-focused Santa sessions became trendier in the 2010s.
