BREAKING: A massive hiring event at the Embassy Suites in Loveland, Colorado, is drawing crowds as Bass Pro Shops aims to fill over 180 positions ahead of its grand opening this spring. The two-day event kicked off at 9 a.m. today, with eager applicants lining up to secure jobs in customer service, operations, distribution, and sales.
Among those first in line was Blake Vance, a Colorado State University student pursuing a career as a game warden. “I feel good about my prospects,” Vance said, expressing excitement over a part-time job that aligns with his passion for the outdoors. “This is right up my alley,” he added, referencing his previous experience at Cabela’s.
By mid-morning, approximately 150 applicants were waiting for interviews, reflecting the high demand for positions at the new 129,000-square-foot store. Bass Pro Shops, founded in Missouri in 1972, is known for its immersive retail experiences, featuring aquariums, wildlife dioramas, and community events.
Ian Ebersole, general manager of the Loveland store, emphasized the importance of hiring knowledgeable staff. “We want to give customers the best of both worlds,” he stated, aiming for a team that combines expertise with a welcoming attitude.
Applicants can expect wait times of at least an hour, but many may walk away with same-day job offers. Ebersole confirmed that the store is set to open in early spring, although a specific date has yet to be announced. New hires will play a crucial role in preparing the store for its opening, which includes organizing merchandise and setting up displays.
As construction continues at the new location near Crossroads Boulevard and Interstate 25, the store is expected to serve customers from across Northern Colorado and the broader Rocky Mountain region. Ebersole also highlighted the store’s commitment to community engagement, planning partnerships with local and national nonprofit organizations.
Another hopeful applicant, Toby Alexander from Wellington, expressed optimism about the opportunity. “This feels like a good chance for my future,” he said, eager to work alongside fellow outdoor enthusiasts.
