Chesterfield Golf Galaxy To Double in Size by October
The golf retailer is moving to a bigger store in Chesterfield Commons and is expected to open this fall.
Golf Galaxy in Chesterfield is moving into the space formerly occupied by Big Lots, which closed last year, and store manager Darrin Williams said it will represent a major upgrade.
The new location, just a few doors down from its present spot, is around 35,000 square feet, roughly twice the present size of the store, Williams said.
The larger room means opportunities for features such as equipment fitting areas specific to particular brands along with an expanded apparel selection.
Golf fans will have to exercise a little patience before taking a swing at the new store, however, as Williams said they are currently projecting a Oct. 16 opening.
Along with the move, the national golf retailer will be unveiling a new prototype storefront design for the Chesterfield location.
In plans submitted to the city, architects said it will be the first Golf Galaxy in the U.S. with the updated branding. The re-design will be meant to imply the aesthetic of a classic two-story golf course club house, complete with a mock-up of a PGA-Event leaderboard.
