I just saw this...

I wonder now if the West Chester, Ohio, Bass Pro is going to be built as planned since there is already a Cabela's about 5 miles to the north.  Bass Pro was supposed to relocate from Cincinnati Mall/Forest Fair in 2015, but those plans were put on hold until 2016.  Now that we are 3/4 of the way through 2016, no more has been said about the new store.  This article (http://www.cincinnati.com/story/money/2016/05/24/streets-west-chester-filling-out/84819194/) from May 2016 seems to say it's unlikely to be built, meaning the mall store could just close outright.
