Bass Pro Shops Plans Superstore at Oakbrook Square

Palm Beach Gardens, FL · September 22, 2026

Keep a rain jacket within arm's reach before heading out today — scattered showers are lining up to test afternoon commutes. There is plenty of quiet momentum across town this morning to beat the clouds.

The Lead

Oakbrook Square may soon welcome a major regional anchor. Bass Pro Shops has formally submitted plans to build an 80,000-square-foot outdoor superstore at the northwest corner of U.S. 1 and PGA Boulevard. The project calls for razing the vacant anchor building that previously housed Jacobson’s department store, Stein Mart, and Tuesday Morning to make way for a custom two-story retail complex.

The application marks a long-awaited return for the outdoor retailer, which walked away from a planned outpost just a third of a mile north along the corridor eight years ago. Shopping center owner Regency Centers aims to revitalize the plaza's north end alongside existing anchors like Publix and local dining spots. The proposal now moves before the planning and zoning board for formal site plan review.
