Popular outdoor retailer Bass Pro Shops is bringing its first location to Houston’s northern submarket with a new $25 million superstore. It will be the company’s 16th Texas location and the fourth to open in Greater Houston.

Bass Pro Shops plans to break ground on a 125,000-square-foot store at 1771 Spring Stuebner Road, 2 miles southwest of the Interstate 45 and Grand Parkway intersection, in Spring.

Construction is expected to begin in August, and completion is projected for next spring, according plans filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. The date and cost estimates are preliminary and subject to change. 

Arkansas-based design firm Benchmark Group is the architect.

Bass Pro Shops synthesize regionally specific custom designs with the national retailers’ brand. The Spring location will be designed to be a tribute to the Lone Star State’s sporting heritage and “a celebration of the sportsmen and women of Texas,” according to a news release. Aside from offering a new retail option for Spring area hunters and outdoorsmen, the superstore will also host events on conservation and outdoor education. 

It will join the company’s three other Greater Houston locations, in Katy, Pearland and League City. 

Houston’s retail market has seen robust growth over the past year. The Bayou City brought in the new year as the nation’s top active retail market recording 7.2 million square feet of leasing activity in 2022 thanks to the city’s thriving suburban submarkets, according to Colliers. Houston’s retail market outperformed New York City and Los Angeles. Retail occupancy rates increased from 93 percent in 2020 to a new peak of 95 percent by Q4 2022 keeping pace with new supply. 

Continued construction in the north and northwest submarkets is staving off would-be downturns in the city’s retail market, according Marcus & Millichap. Thanks to suburbs like Spring and Cypress, Houston currently has the second-largest supply of new retail construction coming down the pipeline in 2023.
