Bass Pro Shops is bringing its outdoor adventure experience to Tyler, Texas, with a new location set to open in early 2025. The store will be located at 151 Market Square Blvd, near The Village at Cumberland Park, a major shopping destination. This location was previously home to the RVs.com Showroom by Camping World, which closed in 2023.
How the Area Has Evolved
This development highlights the transformation of southern Tyler over the past few decades.
1995: The site was a heavily wooded lot, with no commercial properties, only U.S. Highway 69 passing through.
2000s: The area began expanding with retail and infrastructure, leading to the rise of The Village at Cumberland Park.
2023: The land was fully developed, housing commercial buildings and parking lots.
2025: Bass Pro Shops will revitalize the space, marking the next phase of Tyler’s commercial growth.
The shift from undeveloped land to a thriving retail hub reflects the city’s rapid expansion.
What to Expect from the New Store
The Tyler Bass Pro Shops will feature a custom design that reflects its brand’s outdoor heritage. Shoppers can expect a wide selection of fishing, hunting, and camping gear tailored for the East Texas region.
Renovations and Hiring Plans
Renovations are currently underway, with construction on track for completion by February 2025. To prepare for the opening, Bass Pro Shops will host a hiring event on February 19 and 20, 2025, for various positions.
Community Impact
As the first Bass Pro Shops in East Texas, this location is expected to draw visitors from across the region. The project reinforces Tyler’s status as a retail hub, bringing new job opportunities and economic growth.
