Dick’s Sporting Goods will celebrate the opening of a new Dick’s Sporting Goods on Friday, April 7 at Encinitas Ranch in Encinitas, CA.
This will be the retailer’s 687th Dick’s store in the nation and 50th in the state of California.
“At Dick’s, we believe that sports make people better,” said Lauren Hobart, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, Dick’s Sporting Goods. “Opening our newest store in Encinitas allows us to better-serve our customers with a wide range of top-of-the-line products and services and provide superior customer service from associates who are passionate about sports and the outdoors. We’re excited to become a more important part of the community.”
The new location is the eighth former Sports Authority location that that company has converted and reopened as a Dick’s Sporting Goods this year.
Dick’s has brought approximately 75 jobs to the community through the hiring of full-time, part-time and temporary associates for the store.
