Bass Pro Shops

What visitors say

This Edmonton big-box outdoor store was a Cabela's until it was rebranded as Bass Pro Shops, a change at least one longtime customer still grumbles about. It carries camping, hunting, shooting and fishing gear along with footwear and clothing, and visitors describe a large inventory.

Many recent reviews single out individual staff. A bow technician set up a gifted bow to fit its new owner and helped swap arrows and field heads to suit it. The camping manager, a gun counter employee who helped a newcomer to shooting with a scope purchase, and a footwear associate who went to find answers she didn't have all earned thanks. A first-time visitor found the store accessible and quickly found the four items they came for.

It works well for anyone outfitting for camping, hunting or archery in one trip, and one regular of three years says both service and prices have been consistently good.

The complaints centre on after-sales service. One angler whose gifted rod snapped while landing a small walleye was turned away without help, and also felt the women's fishing apparel had drifted toward fashion. Another shopper lost the balance on an online gift card and got no help from the fraud department. Keep receipts for higher-priced gear and ask about warranty terms at purchase. One regular also wishes there were a rewards program.
