Oklahoma City KEY - Concierge of the Month

Jerry Abbott
Team Leader, Fly Shop
Bass Pro Shops

PROFILE: Jerry was born in Oklahoma, but needed to see the rest of the world, before moving back to Oklahoma City. Jerry’s career, and love of the outdoors, has taken him from Oklahoma to Texas, California, Alaska and Wyoming, before moving back in 1995. Jerry joined Bass Pro Shop as the Fly Shop Team Leader prior to the opening of the store in November 2003.

Jerry is an avid outdoorsman, enjoying bird hunting, with his Lewellin Setter Midge, dog training and fly fishing. Jerry also enjoys photography and practices CPR – catch, photograph and release. It's worth the trip to stop by the store for a fly-tying demonstration – and get more information on the great Oklahoma outdoors.

FAVORITE OKC RESTAURANT: "The great thing about having our store in Bricktown is all the great restaurant choices. Bricktown restaurants feature something for everyone. Whether you're looking for great Mexican or Italian, seafood to steak, or just some great Oklahoma BBQ—it's all right here in Bricktown."

FAVORITE OKC ATTRACTION: "A trip to Oklahoma City is just not complete without a stop at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. This popular museum features an outstanding collection of classic and contemporary western art, galleries, and is a 'must-do' on your visit!"

FOR THE OUTDOORSMAN: "Once you’ve purchased your new shotgun from Bass Pro Shop, I suggest a stop at Melot's. The range features 'wobble-trap' and dog training by owner Max Melot, plus quail to release and open areas for training on your own.

A concierge (pronounced kon-'syerzh) is the closest thing you can find to your own personal assistant in a fine hotel. The concierge in your hotel is there to make your stay in Oklahoma City more enjoyable and hassle-free. A Concierge can do more than call a cab. Through their contacts, locally, nationally, and internationally, a Concierge can:

Obtain dinner, events reservations and tickets when and where no one else can.
Set up itineraries for visiting business people.
Make suggestions for and help plan sightseeing by bus, car, driver, limousine, or on foot.
Provide access to secretarial and office services, including faxes, telexes and photocopies.
Arrange hair, barbering, nail and beauty appointments.
Call ahead to a store and have several outfits set aside if you guess wrong about the Oklahoma weather, then have your selections delivered.
Help families relocating to Oklahoma City obtain information on neighborhoods, schools, and homes.
Help with questions pertaining to other cities - you have a friend anywhere in the world where there is a Concierge.

The Concierge has grown to be a trusted resource in the finest hotels in the world. However, don't just take our word for it. Discover what a concierge can do by simply asking for assistance. You'll find that a concierge is capable of meeting the needs of every guest, no matter how discriminating. Concierges spread good will. Call a Concierge - they won't let you down! As the #1 visitor destination city in Oklahoma, Oklahoma City has lots to see and do and whether you visit the Cowboy Hall of Fame, Omniplex, National Bombing Memorial, our beautiful museums, or stroll along the River Walk in Bricktown, the concierge staff at your hotel is there to guide you.
