Golfsmith International Holdings, Inc. has signed a lease for a new 40,000-square foot playground for golfers and tennis players in Orange County that will open in November 2009.
The new Golfsmith Xtreme will be the third in the state of California and the Golfsmith said it will be the largest store of its kind in the greater Los Angeles area. The store will provide golfers and tennis players of all skill levels a fun, interactive environment to try out the best brands at the lowest prices in Los Angeles.
“Golfsmith continues to expand its superstore format into new markets, and we are excited about Los Angeles because it is one of the strongest year-round golf markets in the country,” said Martin Hanaka, president and CEO of Golfsmith. “We are committed to growing the game in California, and despite the economic downturn, we are financially sound and growing our retail footprint where appropriate. This new store will be the best store weve ever opened.”
In addition to carrying the best brands in both golf and tennis, the new Golfsmith Xtreme store will feature an indoor driving range with state-of-the-art launch monitors, a large putting green, an indoor hitting area for tennis, and private custom club-fitting studios.
