Project Overview

This 150,000 square-foot, outdoors retail superstore, which is being built on a 50-acre site in the Traverse Mountain Development near Thanksgiving Point, is to be finished by Okland in a mere eight months. This commercial complex is a structural steel building with pre-cast panels and a vaulted, architectural metal roof.

The complex interior of the structure needed careful coordination to build and install the following signature features: a 30-foot-high mountain replica with running waterfalls and streams; a trout pond and trophy animals in re-creations of their distinct habitats; huge freshwater aquarium stocked with fish native to the area; museum-quality representations of many wild-game species - including an expansive diorama devoted to African game animals; deli-style restaurant will feature delicious wild-game sandwiches, as well as tamer fare; a world-class Gun Library; a full-service fly-fishing shop, a shooting gallery and an indoor archery range.
