Bass Pro Shops coming to The Point in Sayreville

[hofnodinstructor]

SAYREVILLE, NJ--O’Neill Properties Group has announced that Bass Pro Shops, America’s premier outdoor retailer serving over 110 million customers per year, has signed a letter of intent for a 200,000-sf retail store at The Point, one of the largest new mixed use developments in the United States.
The Point, located just 30 miles from Manhattan and minutes away from Staten Island in Sayreville, NJ, will center around a 3 million-sf fortress mall and entertainment district encompassing luxury retail, waterfront and recreation destinations, along with 2,000 high-end residential units (ranging from 3,000-sf waterfront brownstones to 1,800-square-foot two-story townhomes), 650,000 sf of office space, high end hotels and two luxury marinas.
The planned Bass Pro Shops location at The Point will be the size of five football fields with expansive aquariums, waterfalls and museum quality fish and wildlife dioramas onsite along with a huge selection of outdoor gear.

This project has been on again/off again for a while. Too much red tape and from what I heard there was a paint factory and lead factory on the site years ago. The land is probably toxic. Rather use the local shops anyway for several reasons.

I hear where your coming from, but for those of us, including myself who do not live close to any of the Sponsor baitshops, if you need something it's convenient. I try my best to buy from our Sponsors when I can. I live in Central NJ, in Colonia Exit 135 on the Parkway. To get on the Parkway to head down to AH Exit 117 or PP Exit 98, for some tackle, by the time I get there I'm already in $20-25 in gas and tolls. I don't about you, but I don't have it like that...... just saying.

Definetly understand where you're coming from, all though I'm sure a call to or the internet the local shops they would be glad to mail what you need including poles. I do see the pros of developing the area if it goes through. But if the Mom and Pops go away because of say a Bass Pro, is Bass Pro going to be there at 4:30 AM - 6:00 AM to get fresh bait? Local shops also have the knowledge of the local waters, party boats/charters custom rigs etc, most of the local owners fish the same waters we do. Don't get me wrong I do browse through the big boys, but perfer to go local.
