Dick’s Sporting Goods, one of the largest U.S. based sporting goods retailer, will open its 32nd store in Florida and 598th store nationwide on Friday at 5955 Naples Blvd., Naples, FL. This retailer is a perfect fit for those who live and visit our area. Fishing in particular plays a big part in the Naples lifestyle that is enjoyed by people of all ages, from the local business owned by a 2nd or 3rd generation family member to the huge charter businesses and those who provide fresh seafood for a number of the restaurants.
The grand opening celebration will run through Sunday, Nov. 9. The store opens at 8 a.m. Friday, and at 9 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. “Addictive Fishing” host Blair Wiggins will make an in-store appearance on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dick’s 4,000 gallon bass tank will also be on site, with hourly fishing shows from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. There will be a chance for early shoppers to win gifts and gift cards.
