If you were worried you’d have to drive far to fulfill your sportswear needs after last year’s closure of G.I. Joe’s/Joe’s Sports, those fears should now be laid to rest.
In addition to the Sports Authority store that opened in Joe’s former location at 328 N.E. Northgate Way, it looks like we’ll also be getting a Big 5 Sporting Goods in our neck of the woods.
Construction is under way in the northeast corner of Northgate Village at 834 N.E. Northgate Way, and just in case you can’t read the sign, Big 5 also is hiring for its new location. The number to call is 206-546-4443.
By the way, if you saw the “Coming Soon” sign posted across the street from La Bera Cafe at the corner of Northeast Northgate Way and Roosevelt Way Northeast, that’s not where the new store will be. Actually, we still haven’t figured out what plans for that empty pit are, but we’ll let you know when we find out.
