Dick's Sporting Goods, the largest U.S. based full-line sporting goods retailer,
will be opening its relocated store this week at Destiny USA (formerly
Carousel Center off Hiawatha Blvd) in Syracuse, NY. The store will open its doors on
Wednesday, August 1 and celebrate its launch with a ribbon cutting
ceremony on Sunday, August 5 at 10:00 a.m.
The relocated
store is expected to generate an additional 70 local employment opportunities.
The Syracuse store was
originally located at 3529 West Genesee Street. Enhancements to the new
location, which will have more than 79,400 square feet of space, will
include additional specialized services and hands-on customer
experiences throughout the Hockey, Bike, Lodge and Golf departments,
including a golf simulator, a club fitting center, putting green, an
archery lane with an on-site bow technician, and bike safety
inspections, custom fittings, tune-ups and assembly.
Dick's
Sporting Goods has a variety of giveaways scheduled to celebrate the
Grand Re-Opening on Sunday, August 5. The schedule will feature a
Mystery Gift Card Giveaway for the first 100 adults in line, who will
receive unmarked Dick's Sporting Goods gift cards in varying
denominations from $5 to $500, with one person winning the $500 card
(limit one per person and must be 18 years or older).
Additionally, free Reebok t-shirts will be given out while supplies
last and there will be special activities throughout the store including
product demonstrations by industry experts from Saucony, Brooks,
Mizuno, Shimano and Mossy Oak. More details on all promotions are
available at the store location.
“We're pleased to be opening an
expanded and enhanced Dick's Sporting Goods store in Syracuse, which
will enable us to better serve the needs of athletes in the community,”
said Lauren Hobart, Dick's Sporting Goods chief marketing officer. “With our unsurpassed customer service and the best equipment in the industry, we look forward to continued
success in Syracuse and welcoming customers to this new location.”
This new location is now the retailer's 32nd in New York.
