Dick's Sporting Goods opened at Westfield Wheaton Monday night.

Costco, which was also scheduled to open in the mall this month, announced a delay last month due to construction issues. The Costco store is now estimated to open in March or April, according to a transcript of an earnings call by the Costco Wholesale Corporation CEO.

March or April? That's quite a delay!

Any truth to the rumour Costco had a problem with its floor? Dicks being underneath made me wonder ...

Thanks Patch for the heads up that Dick's was opening after the fact! I am going to risk life and limb and venture in today but I will keep an eye out for any signs that the roof may be collapsing... I really dont understand how there can be soo many constuction issues with concrete in MOCO, the only conclusion I can come to is that it must be all of the undocumented workers that are more than likely on these construction crews.

I agree. Would have been nice to learn of it on Sunday, not two days after.

They wanted a soft (i.e., not too busy) opening for a little while. They're open, but the grand opening--complete with Redskins player--will be next weekend (Oct 27) I was told tonight.
