BPS at MOA Announcement

[Daze Off]

Just got a news post that says there will be a major announcement by the new mall owners in about an hour concerning the expansion plans and the tennants who will occupy. We might have our answer as to whether BPS is in or out....

This is a bad deal.

Now we'll get hit state sales tax on our mail orders. (I don't plan on going there to the brick and mortar to shop.)

As far as I'm concerned, this will be a very good deal. Hopefully, we will finally have a retailer in the Cities that will have a decent supply of bass tackle and actually restock it once or twice during the season. Sure isn't happening at Gander or Cabela's.

We have to play the waiting game. But it will be worth it. Won't be open until 2010. I will be there for grand opening week. The whole expansion project is roughly 10 million square feet with BPS being a major anchor store. You gotta love it.

Yea Macsimus is right alot of store around hear dont have a good bass stock. But Gander is a hell of alot better then cabelas they suck for bass guys, i dont even like goin there!!!!

[Ray Esboldt]

I'm all for it. But, I still don't think I'll go down to the MOA. You guys are right though, BPS caters to us bass guys.

Add this to the pot - the new anchor store that BPS is proposing is scheduled to be roughly twice the size of the Roger's Cabela's store and will include a boat showroom as well.

Sad part is that by the time it is actually built I will likely have left MN......shucks!

Macsimus - Let me say that on behalf of the bass forum welcome. Let you mind be enriched with the wealth of knowledge on this forum

Ray -

I am NOT a winter guy at all - am a prisoner in my house for 5-6 months each year . I am a heat and humidity guy. There is nothing about this time of year that I like at all. Don't ice fish, ski, skate, or sled. I want to live somewhere where I never have to winterize anything again - most especially a boat - and their idea of a coat is a Hawaiian shirt in fall colors....

As soon as the kid graduates HS and gets settled in college somewhere I am so outta here....LOL (providing I can sell my house considering the housing market)

i will tell you why you don't go to victioria's secret cause only one of them has the good stuff. The rest have pajamas, perfume, purses, lotions, sweaters(yeah sweaters who would have ever thought that V.S would make a sweater) that is why.

[basssmasher*]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but i heard on the radio that BPS's store will be approximately 300,000 square feet?? THATS alotta shoppin to do!!! YEEHAW!!

[Daze Off]

Cabela's in Rogers is @ 185,000 sf and BPS will be nearly twice that size at 300k sf.....

It will be sweet for sure...

I am already advising my 4-yr-old of his future employment there once he turns 15 or 16!

[DomW]

Will we really have to pay sales tax on our internet orders? I don't think we do that for Cabela's, and they have stores in MN. My understanding was that you pay sales tax if the HQ is in your state.

Find somebody in Wisconsin to place your orders with if this little issue concerns you.
