Rumor surfacing.

[stoner]

I was told this morning that there was a Bass Pro Shops coming to Georgetown, behind 84 Lumber. Just wondering if anyone else had heard the same.

Yes Stoner, I've heard the same rumor. I checked on their webpage and didn't see anything. Man, I don't know if I can afford living that close to the place(lol).

I don't about Bass Pro Shop but that shoping center is suppose to be a mini Hamburg (Like in lexington)

That would be great but man that would surprise me. They have one for the Cincy area, L-ville area, Nashville area and the one in Sevierville. Seems that another one in the middle of all that would be overkill. All that being said....If they build it i'll come..

If you order much from Bass pro shops and you live in Ky you don't want a shop in Ky. Why? Then when you order something they have to add sales tax. Yes every little bit helps.......

But don't you already have to claim sales tax on your KY tax return for items that you bought where sales tax wasn't charged?

Maybe it's a rumor. Maybe it's not.

I've always thought that with Clarksville, IN and Cincinnati, OH that a BPS located in Central Kentucky wouldn't happen. However, when you look at their map, they are opening stores in areas real close to where they already have stores. Look at Georgia, look at Chicago metro, look at Texas, look at Missouri...Obviously, the demand is there and they know something...that company is a beast and growing like crazy.

I find Georgetown a little odd...obviously, it has to be on a major interstate, but with the store in Cincinnati and Louisville I would think that somewhere just south or just east of Lexington would be a better play. Richmond or Winchester, for instance...but land and future development is obviously an issue. There is kind of a "hole" in their map when you look at Kentucky and West By God Virginia.

If a company like Sportsman's Warehouse survives at Hamburg in Lexington given (1) the cost of that land, and (2) it's not a household name...then I think BPS would have absolutely no trouble whatsoever. People would come and it would be busy. It would draw people from Central, Eastern, and Southern Kentucky all day long. Everybody and their Granny's dog knows the BPS name and the BPS logo.

We need a Cabelas in Winchester

Sounds cool if it is true.. What would be even better if one or something like it would fill the Lexington Mall Dead Zone!!!!

I heard the same thing. Most say no, but the place I heard it made me really wonder.

We shall see....If it's true I'm about 3 minutes from it...LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone I asked that is supposed to be "in the know" says this is a rumor.

Georgetown has so many lakes nearby....guess they will have the usa bassin classic on Corinith Lake or on Elkhorn......
Are there not enough BIG BOX stores(DKS, Sportsman, walmart..._) around for the bargin hunters.... say goodbye to customer service if a BPS comes here...
