So many people have been wondering what is going on with the construction project in the old Herbergers location inside Grand Junction's Mesa Mall. We are happy to report that it is going to be a Dick's Sporting Goods.

This has been a project in the works for a while. In fact, months and months ago we confirmed with the city of Grand Junction that all of their applications had been turned in for approval to open a location. And let's be honest this is fantastic news for our community.

Almost every single time we ask on social media what business or store does Grand Junction need there is always a flood of people that say a better Sporting Goods store. This is going to be a very welcomed addition to the Mesa Mall.

Just a few months ago we heard about a new gym that was opening inside Mesa Mall, and now Kutthouse Fitness is open so it's an exciting time for the mall.

While we don't have an exact date on when the newest Dick's Sporting Goods store will open, we do know it's happening soon. Of course, we will keep you updated as soon as we hear when the grand opening will be. We will also help spread the word as we hear more about any job openings for the new store.

Dick's Sporting Goods has over 850 locations nationwide and 11 locations currently open in the state of Colorado.
