Sporting goods retailer in new store openings

It's going to be a busy September for Dick's Sporting Goods.



The retailer will open eight namesake stores and two new Field & Stream stores in the first half of September, including three locations in California. The openings will give the company 711 Dick's locations and 34 Field & Stream locations across the country.



The new stores will bring approximately 875 total jobs to nine communities through the hiring of full-time, part-time and temporary associates for these stores.



"We're excited for the opening of 10 new stores across six states and look forward to expanding our exclusive offering of products and in-store services to communities that have a rich history of great sports and outdoor traditions." said Lauren Hobart, president, Dick's Sporting Goods.
