Bass Pro Shops’ newest store will be the company’s third in the great state of Arkansas. The 70,000-square-foot Outpost retail location will be on Rogers Avenue in central Fort Smith, easily accessible by Highway 22 and Interstate 540, and is expected to open in early 2026.
“We are honored to open our newest location in the Natural State and are grateful for the opportunity to serve the many passionate sportsmen and women in this beautiful region,” said Johnny Morris, noted conservationist and founder of Bass Pro Shops. “We’re proud to become neighbors with our longtime friends from Pradco Outdoor Brands and want to give a special thanks to Bennie Westphal from the Westphal Companies development group for his support in welcoming us to the region.”
Since its founding in 1972, Bass Pro Shops has blazed a new trail in the retail experience for outdoor enthusiasts. As millions of families know, a trip to a Bass Pro Shops is more than a retail experience; it’s an adventure, a mini-vacation, a celebration of nature and an educational and enriching outing for the entire family.
People leave a Bass Pro Shops store with more than a bag of outdoor gear. They leave with a smile, a greater appreciation for nature and a dream of spending more time fishing, hunting, camping and hiking.
Envisioned as a tribute to the great sporting heritage of the region and a celebration of the sportsmen and women of Arkansas, the store will build on the signature qualities that define the award-winning Bass Pro Shops shopping experience, combining retail with entertainment, outdoor education and conservation.
