Dick’s Sporting Goods will be opening five new stores during the second week in March, totaling approximately 180,000 square feet of retail space. Grand Opening celebrations for new stores in Davenport, Ia., Queens, N.Y., and Hinesville, Ga., will occur March 10 through March 12.
“These will be our first stores in Davenport and Queens, so we hope the community joins us for the celebrations that we have planned,” said Lauren Hobart, Dick’s Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer.
In the Glendale area of Queens, Dick’s will celebrate the grand opening of one of the former Sports Authority locations that the company took over late last year. This will be the 41st Dick’s in the state of New York. It will also be the retailer’s second location in Manhattan, the first of which opened on Staten Island in 2011.
In Davenport, the company will open a Dick’s Sporting Goods, Field & Stream and Golf Galaxy all under one roof in – the third store of its kind in the country.
Dick’s said it is bringing more than 370 total jobs to these three communities through the hiring of full-time, part-time and temporary associates.
