Golfsmith International Holdings is unveiling the largest addition to its 74-store chain: a 60,000-square foot location in the Raleigh area. The store features an interactive 9-bay, indoor driving range complete with state-of-the-art launch monitors as well as an indoor tennis court and dedicated racket demo areas.
The new store, located in the previous Best Buy location at 6254 Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh, also includes a large putting green and Golfsmiths first-ever dedicated chipping and pitching area with a real sand bunker. Additionally, golf lessons are offered in the store by Golfsmiths exclusive lesson partner, GolfTEC.
“Our new store raises the bar on activity-based retail and gives our guests an entertaining and educational experience,” said Jim Thompson, president and chief executive officer of Golfsmith. “We are confident that golfers and tennis players will continue to appreciate the difference in Golfsmith's guest services, specialty retail offerings and activity-based stores that allow our guests the ability to try out the latest golf and tennis gear in a comfortable and fun environment.”
