There are quite a few Dick's going in. The Lake Oswego store IS opening as Dick's! I think it was 9 stores in total that they are opening. I will try to find the news release.
Ok it's 6 stores not nine, but still cool. Here's a copy and paste from an article. I wasn't aware of the managers trying to open new G.I. Joe's stores. That would have been even better!
"Dick's Sporting Goods Inc., which has nearly 400 stores in 39 states, currently has only one Oregon location, in Tigard. The new stores--in Gresham, Tualatin, Hillsboro, Salem, Eugene and Bend--go on-line this fall.
"With some real estate that's become available, we've been able to execute the beginning of our strategy much more quickly than we anticipated," said Jeff Hennion, executive vice president of the company, which also owns the 91-store Golf Galaxy chain and 13 Chick's Sporting Goods stores.
But Dick's plans also ended a months-long effort by a group of former Joe's managers who were looking at same six spaces to resurrect them as G.I. Joe's--the sporting goods chain's name when it was founded in 1952."
