Store Information

Foxborough, Massachusetts - From peaceful green valleys dotted with white church steeples and red barn rooftops, to sandy bluffs and beaches overseen by vigilant lighthouses; from quaint villages set amongst picturesque seaports, to the bustle of Boston--the birthplace of the American Revolution-perhaps no other area in the United States is as distinctly American in culture and history as New England. And, perhaps, no other setting is as perfect a location for America's favorite outdoors store-Bass Pro Shops.

The 140,000-square-foot store is the signature tenant for the new Patriot Place development project located adjacent to Gillette Stadium at 1 Patriot Place in Foxborough. 

While you'll find a huge selection of outdoor gear, Bass Pro Shops stores are also part museum, art gallery, antique store, aquarium, education, conservation and entertainment center. 

The entire store is a tribute to the vast diversity of the New England landscape and its people and, like other Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World stores, takes on the flavor and atmosphere of the region in which it is located.  Using more than 3,500 area artifacts, antiques, pictures, mounts and memorabilia, the store becomes a living museum of New England's hunting, fishing, camping and other outdoor legacies. 

Hand-painted murals from renowned artists depict scenes that are quintessentially New England--the beaches of Cape Cod, the rocky coasts of Maine, the cranberry bogs of Massachusetts, the forests and mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire and historic Lake Champlain.  State and record wildlife mounts are displayed alongside local historical prints depicting early New England residents enjoying sporting adventures.

Massive log and rock work frame the Grand Entrance and a porte-cochere protects visitors from inclement weather.  Old snow fencing from Wyoming has been reclaimed and used to side the exterior.  Inside, rustic wood timber and chink walls and vaulted post and beam construction ceiling make up the front lobby. The lobby resembles an old boat building operation reminiscent of Gloucester's historical wharfs and waterfronts.  It even has a gantry crane for hoisting big boats.  A fire crackles in the large stone fireplace (one of three in the store) complete with a handcrafted metal screen depicting New England fisherman casting their nets on the water.  An authentic New England lobster boat rests on top of the Customer Service counter while a 43', 3,000 pound Humpback whale hangs suspended from the ceiling.

Giant, exquisitely crafted outdoor themed chandeliers, made by Bass Pro Shops' own artisans, hang throughout the store.  Deer, duck, turkey, bear, bobcat and wolf tracks are imprinted in the concrete floor.  Moose, deer and other wildlife in natural and action settings are set amidst boulders on top of the 34,000 gallon Bass Pro Shops and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife Educational aquarium.

A cave structure surrounds the aquarium, which is stocked with more than 400 fish native to the area including largemouth bass, striped bass, northern pike, bowfin, giant carp, Atlantic salmon and crappie. Two elevators rise up from either side of the aquarium offering riders a bird's-eye view of the 3-story waterfall. Other water features include a 5,500- gallon-turtle pond and a 3,800 gallon trout pool.  A large moose stands in the trout stream.  One can almost visualize his antlers dripping as if he has just dipped his head for a cool drink.

Other museum quality wildlife exhibits and dioramas are seen throughout the entire store.  At any moment, visitors could expect to come upon a covey of quail being flushed from grasslands or a sentinel of turkeys standing guard in a thicket. 

A feature diorama is comprised of a 43-foot-long 1960's sport fishing boat shown cutting through the surf, while a fisherman reels in tuna from the rear deck.

Special displays in the store include a pictorial and memorial tribute to long-time outdoorsman, Massachusetts native Ray Whitaker.  Ray was a long time Board of Directors member at the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Wildlife.  Another display features photos and items from the collections of American Gun Maker William Ruger.

Bass Pro Shops' dedication to detail is evident wherever you look as their own artisans work with local craftspeople to create a visual style unique to that store, including handcrafted ornate metal fire screen doors, iron railings, sconces and more.

But the attention to detail doesn't stop with store design and imagery elements.  The same consideration is given to merchandise selection.  Visitors will have the area's largest array of freshwater and saltwater rods, reels and fishing accessories to choose from, all hand-picked and specially selected for the area.

The World Wide Sportsman Fly Shop, featuring antique and collectible fly fishing memorabilia, has a vast selection of the latest in fly fishing gear.  Experts will continue the art of hand-tying flies on site and assist customers in making the perfect selection.

The attention to detail continues to be evident in the hunting department where cabinets are adorned with hand-carved animals.  World Class record deer mounts grace the walls.  Customers will find an equally impressive array of hunting clothing and gear.  The archery department offers a bow set-up shop and a 25-yard archery range that is perfect for testing new bows or sharpening necessary archery skills.

More than a hunting and fishing store, visitors will also find items perfect for camping, hiking, outdoor cooking, bird watching or whatever your outdoor pleasures may be. A gift and nature center offers a variety of items from artwork to lamps, to bird feeders and furniture, to home decorating items and gifts for the holidays.  Cooking accessories include cookbooks, spices, grills and jerky making items.

The store also features a wide selection of men's and women's footwear and apparel, featuring popular brands including Columbia, North Face, Bob Timberlake, World Wide Sportsman and RedHead. A NASCAR(r) department offers racing clothing, caps and memorabilia for your favorite drivers.

Kids of all ages will enjoy the logging mill themed 2-story laser arcade featuring approximately 55 animated targets.  The Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World in Foxborough also includes a Conservation Room celebrating the local conservation groups.  A Bass Pro Shops hallmark, the company's dedication to conservation is apparent through the many groups and organizations whose ongoing efforts and continuing outdoor education they support.

 "The people of our company believe very strongly that the future of our industry, the sports we serve, and the sports we personally enjoy are absolutely more dependent upon how we manage our natural resources than anything else," says Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris.  "It is far more important than any catalog we mail, any new store we open, or any new product our vendor creates."  The room accommodates up to 100 people for various civic, educational or conservation functions.

The store also houses the 2,000-plus square foot Blue Fin Lounge that pays homage to New England pubs.  The menu features a great selection of food and beverages from tasty appetizers like Blue Fin Sliders or Three Cheese Quesadillas to our Specialty Grilled Sandwiches, which include corned beef, pastrami, turkey or ahi tuna. Eat in the main room or dine outside on the patio where a fine beverage and fire pit will chase away any chill.

A marine and boat center displays a full range of boats from Tracker Marine--the world's largest manufacturer of fishing boats.  From big water boats to small fishing boats, canoeing and even kayaking, customers will find exactly what they need to have fun on the water with selections from Tracker, Nitro, Tahoe, Sun Tracker, Mako and more.  An on-site, state-of-the-art boat service center with 4 service bays is also be available for customers' convenience for boat rigging.

Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World has hired associates from the Foxborough and surrounding southern New England area that have a passion for the outdoors, so customers will be assured of getting local skilled, knowledgeable assistance with questions and selections.  The store will also offer free Outdoor Skills Workshops for adults, kids and families that will help maximize outdoor fun by teaching new skills and improving existing ones.
