Not sure. It's an Outpost, not a Outdoor World. The one in Destin looks like a Wide World of Sports.
They have their first negative review from Anthony Peters:
I WILL NEVER SHOP AT THE BASS PRO IN TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA EVER AGAIN!!!!!! They advertise that the first 200 people in will receive a gift card ranging from $5-$100. We stood in line for 4 hours in the rain, we were the 15th people in line. About an hour before they open they get on the stage and start to talk, so a whole crowd of people flood around the stage and the front door. So they continue to talk and talk and talk and talk.... Now it is 6:40, almost an hour after they said they would be open. Everyone in line how now gotten furious, an old lady starts to shout and yell, a manager {Josh} comes out to calm her down and tells her they will be opening shortly. I ask Josh about the line and if there will be any sort of regulating when they open. He tells me "No there is no give away or anything going on, don't worry everyone will get in" Wait a second now your telling me I have been standing in line for now over 4 hours for the give away that you advertised on your website, in the add that you gave me in line, and on the news that morning..... Now comes the time they let everyone in, but wait the open the doors on the other side start to hold the line of people who have been there all day back and let the crowd of people who just arrived in. we finally make it in after about 150-200 people and it is complete disappointment for a BASS PRO Shops.
Sorry but waiting in line for 4 hours at a chance of getting a $5-$100 gift card. No thanks. Then again I've never attended the midnight madness, black friday sales either.
I was going to drive over this morning, but might give it another week. Will be a good time to hit Dicks and Academy though.
