My kids and I thoroughly enjoyed checking out the new Dick’s Sporting Goods this weekend at the Landing. The new store provides a great selection of virtually everything one would need for seemingly every sport: biking, hunting, football, boxing, kayaking, paintball…. you name it.
I could hardly believe the rows of rods and reels that stretched on and on… enough choices to meet any fishing situation.
The new store includes a very large golf section, incorporating much of the merchandise that one would have previously found in the Golf Galaxy at the Landing. Golf Galaxy and Dick’s Sporting Goods are owned by the same corporation, so Golf Galaxy was closed when Dick’s signed on at the Landing.
It was great to see such a vibrant new Sporting Good Store occupying the same space that was vacated by Joe’s Sporting Goods just a year or two ago when the “Joe’s” chain went into bankruptcy. Dick’s has a great selection of competitively-priced equipment, and I’m sure it will thrive as a new anchor for the Landing. The chain is a strong up-and-comer nationally.
Dick’s is not only well stocked, the employees are great. A really fun place to shop, you’ll find all sorts of things you didn’t know you needed! Now if the Landing only had a book store!
Can’t wait to swing by and check out the selection and atmosphere.
I agree — the whole operation seems a lot more professional and friendly than (the former) Joe’s or The Sports Authority. More along the lines of a smaller Cabella’s. My only disappointment is that Dick’s seems to have less of an emphasis on casual (non-athletic) clothing compared to other stores, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I just happen to really like the casual clothes offered by The North Face and other brands. Dick’s shoe selection is quite good, however. I bought a nice pair of Keen shoes last weekend, and used a 10% off coupon we received in the mail after becoming “members” at the Puyallap store. I also bought some random exercise gear, and the young woman who helped me was super nice and knowledgeable. A great start!
Open golf tournaments, such as the U.S. Open, are held to try and give amateurs the chance to break into the field of professional golf. Golfers participate in a series of smaller tournaments to qualify for the Open where they proceed to the big tournament where they compete against professionals. The last amateur to win a U.S. Open was back in 1933.’:
