@@cathyu.1487 I'm not a big fan of LL Bean. Too much secondary gear like clothing, not enough primary gear like rods, lures, and bikes. They're decent with kayaks, though. It's more about outdoor fashion than real outdoor engagement. Like the people who go to Dicks to buy Nike track gear only to walk the track with a stroller while chatting it up with their bestie, LL Bean seems to be more for New England-type folks who get geared up in fancy wear to walk their dogs on a 1.5 "hiking" trail near their homes. That's not to say that they don't offer great gear (they do!), but it seems that their primary target is more of those whose imaginations are outdoorsy rather than the ones who engage in outdoor activities that actually call for a lot of their gear. Most people coming out of LL Bean can probably get by just fine with Walmart gear, but Walmart doesn't sell the same feeling. It's a great model that works. Just not my cup of tea. Edit: I now see that they have more specialized stores. (Just checked online. Lol.) I'd like to check one out in person. I've never been to an LL Bean like that.

I got hired on to the Cabela's team in 2020 during the crazy times. I had a a chance to meet Johnny Morris as he popped into my orientation room on my first day. Just a quick Hello, seems very nice and I would assume humble as well. I got to say I always liked Cabela's over bass pro personally. Especially the way the rules were run. With Cabela's they let you have a lot of personal freedom, were as recently, Bass Pro Cooperate have decided that employee's known as Outfitter's, are no longer allowed to have personal knife on them. We used to be allowed to own and carry knifes in store to open packages, boxes, or maybe to cut fishing line to size. After an employee cut their wrist recently, they didn't offer more safety training but had a knee jerk reaction and banned them. It kind of hurts a bit because we could always push knifes sales by showing customers which type or brand of knifes we personally carried. that level of authenticity was always apricated by customers

Out of college I was working as a photographer in between jobs. I wanted to pick up a part time so I took a job at Bass Pro. I had never worked a retail job before. I remember during the initial training on the computer on the first day there was a clip saying "Employee A may be having trouble outside of work but Employee doesn't let life problems affect how Employee does their Job". I just remember thinking what a interesting concept that people think they can just turn off their emotions in work. For other reasons not related, I ended up letting them know the job wasn't right for me due to other commitments outside of the role. I love the store but retail positions were never and will never be for me.

There are usually families with kids there and the kids are always happy and running around like it really is Disney. When I am near our local Megamall with a huge Bass Pro, I always stop by.

One slight error or clarification--you made it sound like prior to Outdoor World opening, the only physical location Bass Pro had at that point was his Father's liquor store. That's not exactly true...there were several (small) Bass Pro Shops in some of the lakeside towns near Bull Shoals Lake and Lake Taneycomo. The best way I can describe these stores is a convenience store (where you could get your ice, beer, cigarettes, picnic supplies, etc. Maybe even gas, I don't remember for sure) that *also* had fishing tackle and some outdoor gear. These stores were modest compared to what we see a typical Bass Pro location look like today...but they were a backbone of the business in the late 70's and early 80's.

I used to enjoy going into BPS the last time I was in one though left kind of a bad taste in my mouth. I stopped in their Orlando location to get some camping utensils. From the moment I stepped through the turn style (which way do they have that? No other big box store does) people were immediately trying to sell me on either applying for credit card or buying a vacation package. At least two of them did it under the guise of striking up a friendly conversation before they brought out the sales pitch. I got hit four times on the way to the back of the store, including the time spent looking for my items and then hit two more times on the way back to the register. And then of course the cashier also asked me about applying for a BPS card. At least two of the associates were also extremely high pressure, which I didn't appreciate. Will I go into a BPS again in the future? Yes. Will I go back to the Orlando location? Probably not.

Ever since I was little I would always see that damn fish and was captivated by it. 😂 Now to this day I always notice it and had thought, how the hell are these guys still in business? It all makes sense now
