Dick’s Sporting Goods will be busy in February. 

The nation’s largest full-line sporting goods retailer will open a namesake store, at Broadway Square in Tyler Texas, and one at the Village at Lee Branch in Birmingham, Ala., on Feb. 28. The Alabama location will also include a Golf Galaxy. 

Following the openings, Dick’s will have 727 namesake stores and 95 Golf Galaxy stores in 47 states. The new locations will bring approximately 132 collective jobs to these communities through the hiring of full-time, part-time and temporary associates for the stores.
