Dick's Sporting Goods

[d_fife]

I HAVE NOTICED THAT DICK's SPORTING GOODS IS IN SUPER SUPER EXPANSION MODE NOW. LIke 2 years ago I saw one in West springfield mass and the newslibrary archies said that Dick's opened in 1994, and the ones in MAnchester And NEwington CONNECTICUT OPENED IN the mid 1990s. I HAVE BEEN SEVERLY RESEARCHING DICKS

BUT I have noticed this: In 2001 they opened in Williston VT, in 2003 Dick's opened in a former Ames in South Portland. in 2003 they opened in Plattsburgh NY, Millbury Mass Warwick and Smithfield RI and in 2003 they opened in ORange and WaterforD CT and in 2003 they opened in ATtleboro MAss. In early 2005 they opened in Hadley, SEekonk and Danvers MAss, and Canton Ct. in 2004 Dick's opened in Portsmouth NH, Enfield CT, BAngor ME, Queensbury NY (I WENT IN THE MALL THAT IT IS IN AND IT WAS READY TO OPEN), Plainville CT, in 2002 one in Worcester Mass opened.


They are currently starting construction of the one in Concord NH, and are said to be building ones in KEENE NH, and in LEOMINSTER MASS (TO OPEN SOON), NATICK MASs (Old decathalon and said to be open not too long from now) Taunton Mass (in the old Bradlees in the mall and to open soon), starting construction of one in SAugus Mass, Pittsfield Mass in an old Bradlees, Milford Ct, Augusta MAine, Brockton MAss, Plymouth Mass, Rutland VT,

I have noticed the store count quickley came up from 167 to 239 stores. I have seen the Dick's in Portsmouth NH, HAdley (it was under construction when I saw it), WEst Springfield, Worcester, Millbury and Mass, Queensbury (it was one week away from opening when I saw it), and Saratoga NY, Williston VT (THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER SAW A DICKS and I saw it in 2002). Decathalon sports died just before Dick's was in Super expansion mode, by the end of 2003 only 4 Decathalons were left (Bellingham, Norwood, Burlington and Hanover Mass)

WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK OF DICKS AND THEIR SUPER EXPANSION.

For northern new england, Dick's goes along with Kohl's, Target and Lowe's with their super expansion...

I miss Decathlon. I used to go to the Portsmouth store.  As of last year, it's still there and vacant.  Dick's opened just aside Kohl's in other vacant spots. (see picture)

In Bangor they opened in the former Porteous and theres a store planned for Augusta too.  In only a few years, there will be Dick's Sporting Goods in all major cities.

www.amesfanclub.com images has the old look of the Dick's sporting goods in newington and that Dick's is next to the former Ames.

The one in west springfield massachusetts looks very different and I heard it opened in 1994.

DIck's bought otu Galyan's (they were 80,000 square efet) sporting good stores a year ago and they were in ,as far as I know, MEntor Ohio, Danvers MAss etc. I saw the Dick's that was formerly Galyan's in Danvers in the liberty tree mall parking lot.

I find it shocking Dick's will close in orange to move to Milford! why? the orange store opened a few years ago! and how far is the one in orange from milford liek 3-4 miles? I wonder if Dick's will open in the states it has not opeend in yet. Of all maine areas, Dick's has not comitted to Lewiston-Auburn yet!! I bet it will either come in the vacant 60,000 sf Porteous or the rest of the vacant Service merchandise (part of that store is dollar tree). it is not in nashua, salem or manchester nh yet, I bet it will coem to nashua and salem in one level of the closed macy's buildings that moved to the Filene's in those malls. that is logical. I bet it will open in more palces around boston, as one is under cosntruction in saugus, almsot open in brockton, one is in natick now and one opened in danvers.

Actually, Ames was near the other end of the mall. These row of stores used to be JCPenney.
