Pro Bass Shops should want a mulligan for the past six months. First it was the flap over incentives Hillsborough County was considering to lure it here. As if Pro Bass would be bringing in the 21st century jobs the county needs. As if Pro Bass shouldn’t want to be in a retail market like this anyway. As if Pro Bass deserved it. Then Pro Bass alienates locals with its ill-advised trademark infringement challenge–since dropped–against Simple Life Outfitters in Valrico. Does Pro Bass not have a PR shop? The timing for an enterprise that ostensibly wants this market and should want to orchestrate a positive debut has been awful. In fact, it’s been Bass Ackwards.
