Dick's Sporting Goods Opens in Wheaton

More information emerges about when Costco will open in Westfield Wheaton.

Posted by Esther French (Editor), October 23, 2012 at 08:32 pm

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.

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.

Thanks for the memories of our favorite park, Hershey Park in Hershey, PA. The old wooden roller…Read More coaster was also our very favorite.There was also another favorite, much tamer Love Boat ride that went through a dark tunnel and then went up an incline and you got wet at the end of the ride. Visiting the Hershey Chocolate Factory was also a must on our trip to Hershey. We grew up in nearby York, PA.

Cori, you have no idea how much this helps. I just found out some of the details about the Geo Bowl…Read More and it sounds like a much better situation for my kiddo than I was originally imagining.

Yes and yes to everything you say here. The reality of parenthood is simultaneously far far worse…Read More and far far better than the fantasy could possibly be. The truth about living with multiple pairs of giant stinky man shoes should be enough to make most of us think twice about filling our houses with male offspring. And when did I sign up to help a hormonal 15 yr old write an impossible essay on a book he's not yet read, due in 3 days? It's lucky we love them so much is all I can say.
