South Mississippi will soon get its first Bass Pro Shops, according to a press release from the sporting goods giant.
One day after Bass Pro Shops was named America’s most trusted retailer for outdoor gear by Newsweek, the retailer announced it was expanding with a new location in Jackson County. The store will be located along the I-10 corridor – just miles away from the Mississippi Sound, the state’s only option for saltwater fishing.
“We are very excited to have the opportunity to serve the sportsmen and women in the Gulfport-Biloxi region and are proud to become members of this celebrated outdoor community,” Bass Pro Shops founder and legendary angler Johnny Morris said.
The Bass Pro Shops in Jackson County will be Mississippi’s second, the only other being outside of Jackson in Pearl. The newest will be a centerpiece at the Lemoyne Landing development in D’Iberville.
“Mississippi is proud to welcome Bass Pro Shops to Lemoyne Landing development, a project that exemplifies the best of what our state has to offer – strong partnerships, a thriving economy, and a deep appreciation for the outdoors,” Gov. Tate Reeves said. “Bass Pro Shops’ decision to invest in Jackson County speaks volumes about the region’s potential as a hub for economic opportunity and tourism.
“This is a win for Mississippi families, sportsmen, and communities across the Gulf Coast.”
The 75,000-square-foot outdoor superstore is expected to open in early 2027.
