Memorial Day Weekend is approaching, and it’s the perfect time to enjoy the great outdoors with family and friends. Whether you’re planning on hunting, fishing, camping, or just grilling outside this Memorial Day, Bass Pro Shops is the one-stop destination for all your outdoor gear and recreational needs.
The question on everyone’s mind is: Will Bass Pro Shops be open on Memorial Day 2024? The answer is yes! Cabela’s Inc., which was acquired by Bass Pro Shops in 2017, will also remain open over the holiday weekend. Most Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s locations will operate under normal business hours, opening at 8 or 9 am and closing at 8 or 9 pm.
If you’re planning to visit a Bass Pro Shops store on Memorial Day, it’s a good idea to check their holiday hours beforehand. Some locations may have limited offerings, such as in-store and curbside pickup. Boat sales and service center hours may also vary, so it’s best to call ahead or check online for specific details.
While Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s locations are open nearly year-round, they do close their doors on Christmas Day. They may also have limited hours on other federal holidays. However, most stores are open for business on Christmas Eve, Black Friday, and other major holidays.
The founder of Bass Pro Shops, Johnny Morris, is an American billionaire businessman with a net worth of $8.3 billion. Morris started selling fishing tackle in 1972 and eventually opened the first Bass Pro Shops storefront in 1981. Over the years, he has expanded his business and acquired Cabela’s in 2017.
Morris, a passionate outdoorsman, credits his father for instilling in him a love of nature and the great outdoors. In 2019, Morris and his family received the Audubon Medal for their conservation efforts. As of 2024, Morris and his wife reside in Springfield, Missouri, where he continues to oversee the operations of Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s.
