Dick’s Sporting Goods to close Montgomery store

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - A large Montgomery area business has announced it will soon close its doors.

A sign at the entrance of Dick’s Sporting Goods store, located at 7861 Eastchase Parkway, confirmed the store’s end is near.

The sign indicates the business will close on July 31, 2022 and points customers to several other locations that will remain open, in addition to its website. The closest stores are at least 50 miles from Montgomery.

It’s unclear what prompted the company’s decision to close. It comes amid the recent closure of other stores, including Whole Foods and several in the downtown area.

A spokesperson for The Shoppes at Eastchase said it does not own or manage the Dick’s Sporting Goods store, so it could not offer any information on the closure.
