Dick's Sporting Goods

[TurismoDreamin]

I've started seeing their commercials on TV lately. Dave and Buster's has been playing their commercials in town as well now that they're building a place here. So does anyone know if Dick's Sporting Goods is coming to Tulsa?

I went to Colorado back in March and this was the first time I went into a Dick's Sporting Goods. It's probably the best sporting goods store I've been in. It has a large variety and depth. It would be nice to have something different and fresh in town..

I know they are actively looking in the area.  This info came to me over the summer.  Rickey Hayes approached them back when he was still in Owasso.  I would not be surprised if they located in Owasso.  The info I got said they are aware of the growth in Broken Arrow too.  Tulsa Hills would be a great location for them.  That is all I have.  

I think they are looking at entering the market in 2010, maybe 2011.  It will be nice to have Dicks Sporting Goods in the Tulsa market.

For what it's worth I have long heard that the major tenants of The River District in Jenks are going to be Nordstroms, Crate and Barrel, Dick's Sporting Goods and Barnes and Noble.

Tulsa Hills is getting an Academy, it's already under construction.

Oh joy.....I was hoping Dick's would beat another Academy for a spot at the Tulsa Hills. Anyways, for what it's worth, here's a picture of one of their stores in Texas. I hope for a facade similar to this. Nearly all of the ones I saw in Colorado looked like this. It kind of reminds me of the bass pro shop. I think stores such as Dick's brings along with it a new flavor to cities like Tulsa (especially ones that are sports and fitness themed), gives people more options for recreation, and improves a city's quality of life.

I think they should build a Dick's next to the Hooter's.

The store pictured above was formerly a Galyan's..
Galyan's WAS a good sporting goods store.
Dick's is just as mediocre as Sports Authority...  The Galyan's locstions were good while they had Galyan's inventory.
Any new Dick's storefront looks just like your standard big-box.

To be honest, I actually like Academy much more than Dick's or Sports Authority.

If the rumblings of an Academy @ Tulsa Hills are true, that would be great.  I also heard that Chick-Fil-A was approached to be one of the tenants there, but I'm guessing that McDonalds being there would eliminate that possibility now.

Sports Authority always looks like they're going out of business when I go in. Stuff strewn all over and most of the demo areas installed under their previous banner are non-working. I haven't been to Dick's but I know Lewis&Clark outfitters is one of the tenants scheduled for Riverwalk PhaseII.

There is a new tenant under construction at Tulsa Hills that looks like an Academy.

We have a Dick's Sporting Goods in Lexington, KY. The set-up reminds me of the Bass Pro store. It would be perfect for Tulsa.

I'd be satisfied with a small Play It Again Sports store.

Along with the Tulsa Hills, the Promenade mall would be another good location...where Mervyn's use to be. The one I went to in Colorado was at the Flatirons mall in Broomfield (which is an excellent mall btw...half indoors and half out). It was a great anchor store and could quite possibly be the boost that Promenade needs again. Heck, I'd go to Promenade again if they had this there.

Multi-level, quasi Bass-Pro layout with rock climbing wall:  It's a Former Galyan's store...

I'd rather have a Dick's Last Resort than a Dick's Sporting Goods.

I too have heard Crate & Barrel is coming to the River Crossing......God please make it so!!!

[Hawkins]

Have they even broken ground on the river district?

The Riverwalk Crossing has yet to do so on Phase II, so I'm just wondering if all this Jenks river development talk is just that.
