Guess BPS felt a need for a store in that area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 You're right, BPS is opening in Irvine in 2023. It will be off Alton Pkwy. From what I read this store will be a bit smaller than the Rancho Cucamonga store and they are building on an old Walmart building. I'm guess BPS will tear that structure down and build up. Thank you for the 411 about that, it's still odd to me that BPS would open a store in Irvine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Bass_Fishing_Socal Posted May 2, 2022 Super User Share Posted May 2, 2022 Cool, we need that but last time I walked into BPS Las Vegas, I don’t know what to buy there. I forced myself to buy some crappie stuffs since it was my vacation and my wife already gave me some budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliyak Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Irvine makes no sense. Anaheim might make some sense; Angels, Ducks and Disneyland. Long Beach is one that makes sense. San Diego does too. the two in so-cal are in weird spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can recall all those hills, ect off either side of the 405 frwy, were all full of cattle. Look at it now. Industrial, Commercial, and residential buildings going up all over. So maybe it's not such a poor choice to add a store there.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Hands Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 It is an odd location for a tackle/hunting store/boat yard. Might be perfect for selling leisure wear and camping gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add that the annual income is probably higher there than some of the cities north of it like Long Beach or Anaheim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User WRB Posted May 4, 2022 Super User Share Posted May 4, 2022 Anglers Marine serves that area if you want boats and bass tackle. Tom 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Hammer 4 Posted May 5, 2022 Author Super User Share Posted May 5, 2022 Also, there is The Long Fin tackle shop in the area, huge selection of fishing gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skekoam Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Not sure if the area is owned by the Irvine Company, but rent has to be a killer. Either way, it will be cool to see. I rarely buy any tackle or anything else for BPS. Normally we just go for the hats/t shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassnpanfish Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 When I found out that Bass pro shops was opening so close to me (10 min) I was so happy. I usually buy tackle from them online and currently the nearest one is in 1 hour away. Looking forward to it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its really hard to find other mainstream brands there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User WRB Posted December 16, 2022 Super User Share Posted December 16, 2022 BPS sells major brands of fishing tackle for both fresh and salt water anglers. The issue is a BPS store is located 50 miles north of Irvine and Anglers Marine who sells both boats and popular regional bass tackle I’d only 25 miles from Irvine. Maybe they plan to close the Rancho Cucamunga store? Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Irvine store will do well also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User gulfcaptain Posted February 4 Super User Share Posted February 4 So they have the ie, now they will have north county and orange county as well as those in the Long Beach area a closer option. Would rather drive to Irvine then out to Ontario. And I like Anglers, but they aren't BPS. Rather buy a boat from them or some other more localized bass tackle from them. But they don't sell saltwater and opens up new markets. I'd call it smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be okay to buy electronics or something but I would never step foot in one if I was series about inshore/offshore fishing. It'll be the orange county store to buy camo and novelty items around the holidays since Turners sells more gear than clothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't do Turners either. Shop small businesses that I support around the area and online dealers which some are members on this site.
