Dick’s Sporting Goods expands new Public Lands, Golf Galaxy store concepts

Public Lands is set to open its second location, in Columbus, Ohio.

Dick’s Sporting Goods continues to roll out its new experiential and discount store formats.

The nation’s largest sporting goods retailer will open its second Public Lands store on November 5, in Columbus, Ohio. The format, which is focused on outdoor activities and land conservation, made its debut in September, at Cranberry Square, in the Pittsburgh suburb of Cranberry Township.

The 60,000-sq.-ft. Public Lands will feature a 30-foot rock wall, an in-store gear repair and rental department and specialized shops dedicated to various outdoor activities including biking, camping, fishing, paddling, climbing, running and hiking. It will carry outdoor and lifestyle apparel, footwear, and equipment brands, and support the local outdoor community through conservation and access and equity-based initiatives. One percent of all Public Lands sales will go back into local and national conservation efforts.
