Bass Pro Shops Is Coming to Irmo
Your “Quick Stop” May Take Three Hours.
A new 110,000-square-foot store is planned for Broad River Road, with an opening expected in late 2027.
Midlands outdoorsmen and women, start working on your “I actually need this” speeches.
Bass Pro Shops announced Thursday that it’s coming to Irmo, bringing a new 110,000-square-foot destination store to Broad River Road. The location will sit roughly three miles from Lake Murray and serve the greater Columbia region.
In other words, that trip to pick up fishing tackle could eventually become a little more convenient. Getting out with only fishing tackle? That’s between you and your shopping cart.
What’s coming?
The store will offer gear for fishing, hunting, camping and other outdoor pursuits, with a custom design that Bass Pro Shops says will celebrate the Columbia area’s outdoor heritage and conservation legacy.
The company hasn’t detailed the store’s individual features yet, so we’ll have to wait for more on what’s going inside.
With Lake Murray nearby, the location makes plenty of sense. Whether your weekend involves chasing bass, getting the boat out or explaining why you need another rod when you already own twelve, this one’s aimed squarely at you.
When will it open?
The store is expected to open in late 2027. An exact opening date has not been announced.
Bass Pro Shops says the Irmo store will be its fourth destination retail location in South Carolina and is expected to employ more than 120 people. Job information will be available at basspro.com/careers as hiring approaches.
Until then, there’s time to save up—and rehearse explaining how a trip for hooks turned into a new kayak.
