BassPro Shops to open in Foxboro, Ma

• The Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World is under construction at Patriot Place, the 1.3 million-square-foot "super-regional lifestyle and entertainment experience" under construction next to Gillette Stadium on Route 1. The store - equivalent in square-footage to 3 Gillette Stadium football fields, and slightly larger than a typical Bass Pro - is scheduled to open Nov. 15.
• Foxboro's Bass Pro store will feature an expansive boat showroom with boats built by the Tracker Marine Group, the world's largest manufacturer of fishing boats. A wide selection of fishing, hunting, camping and marine clothes, gifts and footwear will be available, too.
• Bass Pro expects to hire 250 to 300 associates for the Foxboro store, MacDonald said. A job fair will be held Aug. 27 to 29, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
