Dick's Sporting Goods

Oxnard, Calif. -- Centro Properties Group US announced that Dick’s Sporting Goods will open a new 44,166-sq.-ft. store at Esplanade Shopping Center, located in Oxnard, Calif.

Esplanade Shopping Center is owned by Centro Properties, based in New York City.

 

PITTSBURGH — The combination of new store growth, a 2.5% same-store sales increase and expanding gross margins enabled Dick’s Sporting Good to produce earnings per share of 52 cents and exceed analysts’ estimates by two cents. However, a cautious outlook regarding the future caused the company’s third quarter profit forecast to be two cents less than analysts forecast, and same-store sales were projected to grow in the low single digits.
