The wait is nearly over for people excited to check out the new Bass Pro Shops location set to open in the Duluth area. Earlier this spring, I got the chance to talk to the general manager for the brand new Bass Pro Shops store, taking over what was once the Gander Mountain/Gander Outdoors/Camping World location in Hermantown.
