Dick’s to have new location in Boardman

BOARDMAN

A $1.7 million addition to a shopping plaza will be the new home of Dick’s Sporting Goods.

The store will be located at the former site of England Custom Furniture, 550 Boardman-Poland Road. The plaza is owned by V&V 224 Limited, of Youngstown, and the commercial project will add 26,250 square feet to the building, according to records in the township zoning office.

V&V 224 Limited has retained B&B Contractors.

A Dick’s Sporting Goods store already is open at 1280 Doral Drive off South Avenue. A representative in the Dick’s Sporting Goods corporate office would say only that information about new stores generally isn’t released until a week or a few days before grand opening.
