SAYREVILLE, N.J. — Thousands turned out for the grand opening of the new Bass Pro Shops in Sayreville, the largest single-story Bass Pro Shops location in America.
The 200,000-square-foot destination store opened to a capacity crowd, with some shoppers arriving the night before. It features an 80,000-gallon fish tank, a restaurant and a bowling alley, along with a boat used by President George H.W. Bush on display. Fifteen percent of opening-night sales were donated to conservation efforts in New Jersey.
Congratulations to our friends at Bass Pro Shops! Through the 100 Homes Challenge, Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris has pledged 25% of the cost of each of the next 100 specially adapted homes Helping a Hero builds for severely wounded post-9/11 veterans. We’re proud to partner with a company that gives back so generously to our heroes and their communities.
