Advocate Article

quote:

Dick’s House of Sport stores are over 100,000 square feet, about five times larger than typical Dick’s Sporting Goods locations.


quote:

Dick’s House of Sport is a new store model launched by the sporting goods chain. It gives customers a chance to try products by offering things such as batting cages for baseball and softball, a putting area for golf, rock climbing walls and a variety of turfs to try out soccer and football cleats. Some locations even have fields attached that are used for sports clinics and league play.



Saw in The Advocate we are getting one of these where SEARS was at the mall. Looks like a pretty cool concept
Anyone been to one?

LOL.

But if this happens, it will suck that there will be another empty storefront.

First Dick’s can suck their namesake.

Second, the tryout areas are a good concept. The problem is Dick’s like Cabela’s and Bass Pro care more about their bottom line than sending associates for training.

That’s why Scheel’s is kicking their asses. Scheel’s invests a ton in associate training and it shows when you speak to them about a product in their area.

The stuff Dock’s is doing store wise can be easily replicated knowledgeable associates apparently not.

I bet when the first Dick's finds out about the second Dick's. We will end up with no Dick's.

One guarantee.

My gun-hugging arse will never see the inside of one of these stores.

Such an obvious ripoff of the Scheels model. Was in Scheels today and always think how much better it is than any other outdoor store. They absolutely have everything in there.
