The Preserve Sporting Club & Resort has expanded and renovated its Sporting Shoppe, adding 30,000 square feet to the existing space. The company said the expansion will enhance the shopping experience, featuring a wider selection of outdoor gear, lifestyle apparel and authentic specialty goods.
The updated facility will include experiential interactive displays, including a freshwater aquarium with native marine life and improved amenities.
“In partnership with local landscape architect, ZDS and team Leighton with interior design by Live Interiors, the Sporting Shoppe was designed for an optimal shopping experience, expertly guiding guests through the apparel section touting notable brands including Barbour, Tom Beckbe, Orvis, Sitka, and Dubarry,” the company reported in a media release.
“From there, shoppers find themselves amidst a robust outdoor sector for enthusiasts of hunting, camping and fishing with an array of products necessary for a one-of-a-kind outdoor New England experience. Finally, children can look forward to a designated area for play, apparel and toy offerings as well as a vast children’s book collection,” the company continued.
The Sporting Shoppe also has a complimentary café and waiting room for relaxing while shopping.
“The expansion of The Preserve Sporting Shoppe not only enhances our resort and membership offerings but also underscores our commitment to the local community and the state of Rhode Island,” said Paul Mihailides, chairman of The Preserve Sporting Club & Resort. “As a family-founded and operated business, we believe in creating a welcoming environment for families and guests. With our current 400 employees and an upcoming capital investment of $50 million, this project—which has already created 40 new jobs in Richmond—represents our dedication to investing in local talent and supporting the Rhode Island economy.”
Known as one of the nation’s top four-season sporting clubs, The Preserve Sporting Club & Residences is on 3,500 acres in Richmond, RI.
