Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid

One of the most dynamic, immersive retail adventures in the world is now open in Memphis, Tennessee. Located inside a massive transformed sports arena, this new, immersive retail experience offers something for everyone from the serious outdoor enthusiast to families looking to have fun. In addition to a vast assortment of outdoor gear, the Pyramid includes a wilderness hotel called Big Cypress Lodge, nearly 600,000 gallons of water features, a cypress swamp with 100-foot-tall trees, the interactive Ducks Unlimited Waterfowling Heritage Center and The Lookout, a breathtaking glass-floored observation deck at the top of the 32-story steel Pyramid.

Standing 32 stories tall along the banks of the Mississippi River, the Pyramid is an icon of the Memphis skyline. First envisioned as a sports and entertainment venue, the complex opened in 1991 and hosted professional sports and concerts until it closed in 2004. After years of uncertainty about the Pyramid's future, the City of Memphis invited Bass Pro Shops to establish an innovative retail destination that could revitalize the building.
