ROOKIE USA, BIG NEW SPORTING GOODS STORE, OPENS IN COLUMBUS SQUARE

Posted on August 21, 2012 at 4:25 pm by West Sider

Rookie USA, a sporting goods store for kids, opened its doors today at 808 Columbus Avenue (99th Street) in the Columbus Square development. The new 7,000-square foot store (plus 2,200-square-foot basement)  sells apparel and footwear from Nike, Converse, and Levi’s. RookieUSA is a new brand and the Upper West Side store is its first location.

The company’s Facebook page indicates that there’s some sort of first-day giveaway going on, but they’re being coy about what exactly they’re handing out. If you go, let us know!
