Dick’s Sporting Goods will be opening five new Dick’s Sporting Goods stores during the remaining weeks of October.
Dick’s will now have 718 Dick’s Sporting Goods locations across the country. The new Dick’s locations will also bring approximately 376 total jobs to five communities through the hiring of full-time, part-time and temporary associates for these stores.
“At Dick’s, we believe that sports make people better,” said Lauren Hobart, president, Dick’s Sporting Goods. “Opening new stores in Ellicott City, MD, Fairview Heights, IL, and Tukwila, Tacoma and Bellevue, WA, allows us to better-serve our customers with a wide range of top-of-the-line products and services, as well as provide superior customer service from associates who are passionate about sports and the outdoors. We’re excited to become an important part of these communities.”
Grand Opening events will be held in the following cities:
For each grand opening weekend, customers will receive the chance to win great prizes and meet several special guests, such as Steve Smith Sr. in Ellicott City, MD, Whitey Herzog in Fairview Heights, IL, KJ Wright in Tukwila, WA, Tyler Lockett in Tacoma, WA and Ben Gamel in Bellevue, WA.
Additionally, Patagonia and The Dick’s Sporting Goods Foundation will each provide a $5,000 grant to the Baltimore City Foundation’s Great Parks/Strong Neighborhoods initiative.
