Bass Pro Shops

[gman]

Looks like this project is finally moving forward: http://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/local/greer/2014/10/30/bass-pro-shops-buys-land-development-near-greer/18195421/

I just read that article and think that that council man is exaggerating just a bit. Saying that folk from Charlotte and Atlanta are going to come to Greer, excuse me Spartanburg (chuckle), to shop at Bass Pro Shop. And this store is going to be a game changer is shear fantasy. Well maybe in spartanburg it will, but not for everyone. I do understand his excitement for his community. But please. Let's be real

LOL, I guess he doesn't know that Atlanta and Charlotte have BPS. Although in Spartanburg County, like the airport it's a lot closer to Greenville than Spartanburg which in this respect is a good thing but I'm not a big fan of this project. Not sure how much this will increase traffic but there is enoough on 85 now.

The guy in the article who makes such over-the-top statements about the Bass Pro Shops opening clearly isn't the type of person who would say something similar about a Neiman Marcus opening.

[MAJIKMAN]

My point exactly apaladin. My point exactly.

My point exactly on both points

At least 1 year until Bass Pro Shops opens in Spartanburg Co. http://www.foxcarolina.com/story/29854821/at-least-1-year-until-bass-pro-shops-opens-in-spartanburg-co

This is only a rumor, but I am hearing BMW is doing all they can to stop this project. It seems as though they don't want the potential traffic that will come to 101 and I-85.

Good, put it at Laurens and I-85 where they had originally planned.

Which corner?  The Verdae one is the only one that is vacant.

Exactly...

[vicupstate]

Exactly...

Big Box is not part of the Verdae Master Paln as far as THAT corner goes. That was probably an issue too at the time.

BPS has never been planned for this intersection.

[SVL]

I think I-85/Hwy 14 area was considered a few years ago for BPS.

Perhaps...the pulse is probably shallow. Many situations with this...negative aspects may outweigh the positives. It could happen...way down the road. BP also purchased  property on I-26 (near Inman)...this area /site may appear more promising for a major development.

[ausrutherford]

It is a spot that did not make much sense to me. The original site at Verdae made much more sense.

 

They would of had a higher population density nearby and foot traffic from the future trail.
