Roseville's Sport Authority Celebrating Grand Re-opening Saturday

Sports Authority, one of the nation’s largest sporting goods retailers, on Saturday  will host  a grand re-opening of its remodeled Roseville store with merchandise discounts, a Minnesota Twins appearance and a free $500 shopping spree. 

The renovated  47,000 square-foot big-box shop features reconfigured departments and wider aisles to make shopping easier and more convenient for customers, store manager Tim Young told Roseville Patch. The store's update took 11 weeks to complete, he said. 

Changes in the store layout include creation of a yoga department with apparel and related accessories. The store, 1750 Highway 36 W., also has a new kids' apparel department and has put cleats for baseball, football and soccer shoes in one location, Young said.

Meanwhile, the first 250 customers showing up for the store's grand reopening will get Sports Authority Scratch and Win “Mystery Bucks” valued at $5 to $500. There will also be hourly $100 gift card drawings from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

Also, Minnesota Twins pitcher Casey Fien and the Twins' mascot T.C. Bear will make a guest appearance at the Roseville store from 11 a.m. to noon. 

Sports Authority is a full-line sports retailer who carries all things sport including exercise equipment, camping gear, seasonal sports merchandise and sports-related apparel. The Colorado-based retailer has eight stores in the Twin Cities metro area.
