The store will have 200,000 to 250,000 square feet of space, and a 200-room hotel will sit above it, said Michael Dunham, Bass Pro Shops director of real estate. There also will be 18 two-bedroom and eight three-bedroom guest cabins.

The Adirondack lodge-style outdoor store will have an indoor boat showroom and restaurant and could include indoor/outdoor shooting and archery ranges, an ATV test rack, nature park and a 10,000-square-foot spa, he said.

Several restaurants new to the Pittsburgh area also could be included, such as Islamarada, a seafood restaurant now in Florida, Dunham said. Other planned attractions include wildlife displays, waterfalls and aquariums stocked with native fish and a mountain wall for climbing.
