Bass Pro scraps plans for Kanata store by Kristy Cameron May 6th 2015

Bass Pro Shop says it has decided to scrap plans for a store in Kanata.

The outdoor retailer was slated to open in 2017 but a spokesperson confirms to CFRA that they are not moving forward with the project “at this time.”

Bass Pro had planned a 120,000-square-foot store located at Highway 417 and Huntmar Drive, right across from the Canadian Tire Centre.

In November, rival chain Cabela’s announced it will be opening a store in the same area, across from the Tanger Outlet Mall on Palladium.
