Bass Pro Shops was founded in 1972 by avid young angler Johnny Morris on eight-square-feet of space in the back of his father’s liquor store in Springfield, Missouri. Today, the leading national retailer of outdoor gear and apparel has 200 retail and marine center locations across North America.

Johnny’s passion for the outdoors and his feel for the products and shopping experiences desired by outdoor enthusiasts transformed the industry. Bass Pro Shops locations are more than just stores — they are true destination experiences that draw more than 200 million visitors annually. Each location is heavily customized to reflect the character of the region. In addition to giant aquariums teeming with live fish and extensive wildlife mounts and dioramas, many locations feature unique restaurants and ocean-themed bowling alleys. In 2017 Bass Pro Shops acquired Cabela’s to create a “best-of-the-best” experience with superior products, dynamic locations and outstanding customer service.

Conservation Leadership

Guided by the visionary leadership of our founder and CEO Johnny Morris, Bass Pro Shops is making a significant impact on the future of conservation. Ever since Johnny began connecting people with nature through a tiny bait shop in the early 1970s, we continue inspiring everyone to enjoy, love and conserve the great outdoors.

Conservation Leadership

“The people of our company believe very strongly that the future of our industry, the sports we serve and the sports we personally enjoy are absolutely more dependent upon our conservation efforts or how we manage our natural resources than anything else. It is far more important than any catalog we mail, any new store we open, or any new products our vendors create.”

Key conservation initiatives include protecting wildlife and habitat, connecting kids and families to the outdoors and protecting sportsmen’s rights through access and advocacy efforts. Together with thousands of passionate associates and 120 million annual customers, we’re making a big impact.

Child excited about catching a fish
Founder/CEO Johnny Morris launched The George H.W. Bush Vamos A Pescar Education Fund to bring more conservation, education, fishing and boating opportunities to Hispanic families with continued support from Bass Pro Shops.

More than 100,000 kids catch a fish at Bass Pro Shops-sponsored events each year. We’re helping to foster the next generation of outdoor stewards.

We partner with more than a dozen leading conservation organizations including Ducks Unlimited, National Wild Turkey Federation, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Quality Deer Management Association to advance key conservation programs and initiatives. Bass Pro Shops supports our partners by hosting conservation events that raise millions of dollars, participating in education and promoting conservation through outreach and high-profile sponsorship opportunities.
