About us

Frank's Great Outdoors was founded in 1945 by Frank and Margaret Gorske. Frank's Great Outdoors (Originally named "Frank's Bait and Tackle"), maintained its status as a small bait shop selling live bait and a small amount of tackle until its expansion in 1973.. Frank and Margaret's objective was simple: provide a high quality product at a reasonable price, and possess the knowledge and skills necessary to demonstrate advise on, and explain the use of ALL of their products.

We've Grown Since Then. . .

Frank's Great Outdoors has answered its customer's demands for more high quality goods and services with the construction of a 30,000 sq. ft. retail store, that houses products in departments such as fishing, hunting, marine electronics, clothing, cooking, and gifts.

Broad Horizons. . .

As Frank's Great Outdoors continues to grow and expand, it's owners and personnel will operate with the same principles and ideas that Frank and Margaret instilled in 1945.
