Sports Authority to Open in SLO

Thursday, January 18, 2007

The Sports Authority will open its doors in downtown San Luis Obispo at the former Copeland Sports storefronts in mid-April with a grand opening expected in mid-May.

A representative said Tuesday that the company - one of the nation's largest sports retailers - is now determining design issues of the storefront but noted, 'We want to continue with what the Copelands have done and match the downtown culture.' He did not anticipate significant visual changes.

He added that The Sports Authority will be busy stocking merchandise over the coming months to prepare for its soft opening in April.

The Sports Authority, which is based in Englewood, Colo., bought 12 Copeland Sports stores in November. A former Copeland store in Medford, Ore., will be the first to operate under The Sports Authority banner when it reopens in late February. Copeland Sports closed its downtown San Luis Obispo stores Sunday.
