View a video about Zeiner's Bass Shop
Zeiner's Bass Shop
has been at the corner of Gilbert and Washington in the center
of Wichita, Kansas since March of 1989. Previous to that, the
store was located on the east side of town. From Kellogg, Zeiner's
is only a couple blocks south on Washington.
| Betty
and Jim Zeiner, Sr.
started the original Zeiner's store July 1, 1953 in a garage
next to the family home a couple miles south of Wichita. To get
to the store, customers had to leave the highway and travel a
quarter-mile on an often pot-hole filled dirt road. The family
no longer operates the original store. |
The Zeiner family
has been helping
anglers fill their needs since 1953. |

Deb Zeiner was introduced to fishing by her dad and spent
her younger years fishing with him. In additon to being involved
in the tackle business, Deb is an outdoor writer.
Jim Zeiner, Jr. grew up in the business and spent many of the early
years on the other end of a seine with his dad and making Magic
CheeZe, a bait developed
by Jim Sr.

Deb and Jim purchased the original Zeiner's
store after the death of Jim's father and have been operating
Zeiner's Bass Shop since 1986. The Bass Shop has been located
at Gilbert and Washington since 1989, the same year it became
a Bass Pro Shop dealer.

working in the Bass Shop at age ten in 1985 and spent his high
school years traveling with his dad, Jim Jr., to outdoor shows
