Bass Pro Shops to open first Pittsburgh-area location
SOUTH FAYETTE, Pa. (KDKA) — The Pittsburgh area is getting its first Bass Pro Shops location.
The company announced plans Friday for a “new destination retail super store” at the Newbury Market development in South Fayette Township.
The 100,000-square-foot Outdoor World is “envisioned as a tribute to the great sporting heritage of the region and a celebration of the sportsmen and women of western Pennsylvania,” combining retail with entertainment, outdoor education and conservation, Bass Pro Shops said in a news release.
In addition to hunting and fishing gear, the store will sell 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.
“It’s an honor 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 in a statement.
Morris, who Bass Pro Shops calls “The Walt Disney of the Outdoors,” is known for creating immersive experiences that connect customers to nature. Bass Pro Shops feature large aquariums stocked with native fish, thousands of local antiques and artifacts, hundreds of wildlife mounts and murals.
Bass Pro Shops was founded in 1972 when Morris began selling tackle out of his father’s liquor store in Springfield, Missouri. While Bass Pro Shops has two stores in the state, this location will be western Pennsylvania’s first.
The South Fayette location is expected to open in early 2026.
Ahead of the 2016 Championship Reunion on Jan. 31, we are taking a look back at each playoff round with a player who had a big impact on the series. Today, Bryan Rust talks the Eastern Conference Final against Tampa Bay. To join us for the reunion, click here.
“You’re now a Pittsburgh legend.”
That’s what Nick Bonino said to Bryan Rust on the bench after the Penguins defeated the Lightning in Game 7 of their 2016 Eastern Conference Final matchup.
“And I was like, what are you talking about?” Rust said with a laugh. “But over the years, it’s like, okay – the more and more you think about it, it’s like, wow, that’s something that’s cool.”
Then 24 years old, Rust put together a performance for the ages.
Game 1 turned out to be Andrei Vasilevskiy’s introduction to the league. Then 21 years old, the 2012 first-round pick – drafted by Tampa at PPG Paints Arena – took over between the pipes after Ben Bishop was carted off the ice and sidelined for the rest of the series. Vasilevskiy helped the Lightning earn a 3-1 victory in Game 1 before the teams went to overtime in Game 2.
And in the first minute, Rust helped the Penguins earn a 3-2 victory after setting up Sidney Crosby for the winner.
“I got off the bench, and what I would guess I was thinking was I was gonna drive the net, and then kind of saw him kind of out of the corner of my eye,” Rust recalled with a laugh. “So, I just pulled up, kind of laid it to him, and he did the rest.”
