Q: In hindsight, do you think Richmond County’s experience with Bass should’ve served as a warning to Columbia County?
A: More truthfully, our previous experience was a big warning. We had little knowledge of the true situation with Richmond County. They came to us with the story that this was a new crew, apologized to us about the past and promised that they were going to definitely be coming to Columbia County. The land owner was also jilted by them before but believed their story of a new concept and beginning.

Q: Would you have done anything differently in your negotiations with the company? A: Probably not
.
They came to us and made very definite promises. Both us and the land owner were skeptical, but with their continued promises to come to Columbia County, we began to believe and went on in to serious planning.

I am actually shocked that BPS is not in either Augusta or Columbia. That is over a million people within a one hour drive. It still surprises me how close the metros are to one another. I am no expert, but it seems to me that Aiken or Lexington SC would be natural choices as the store could pull from both metros. Either way I am sure they will build in either Augusta or Columbia soon. That is too many people and too many profits to ignore.

Bass Pro Shops? Yawn. All they want is your tax dollars to pay for their stores. Cabela's is much better.
