hhgregg and Academy Sports looking in Omaha
I got together with a few of my friends in the real estate business last night and was told that both  hhgregg and Academy Sports has been looking at several different locations around town.   I've been to an hhgregg store before.  The store was nice and they had good prices.   I've actually never heard of Academy Sports.
From hhgregg's web site:
hhgregg is the fastest growing national retailer of brand-name appliances and electronics with the largest selection of everything from high-definition televisions and major appliances to computers, home audio solutions, cameras, mattresses and more.
From Academy Sports website:

Academy Sports + Outdoors is one of the nation's largest sporting goods retailers. Our formula of low prices and a large selection has allowed the company to become a leader in the sporting goods industry.

Academy Sports and hhgregg will NOT be openings stores in the new development you are referring to. Â Â According to my sources, both chains expect to have their stores open late summer/early fall 2012. Â hhgregg is looking at existing retail space, while Academy Sports is looking at both existing retail space as well as locations where they could build. Â It's not uncommon for retailers to open multiple stores in a new market at the same time. Â It cuts down on the cost of advertising and transportation costs to keep stores stocked with merchandise.

The fact is that it is extremely uncommon for retailers to open multiple stores in a new market at the same time. Â It doesn't happen.OMArealtor68 wrote:Academy Sports and hhgregg will NOT be openings stores in the new development you are referring to.

Lets give him the benefit of the doubt here Novak.

On the Grow Omaha mintue this morning on KFAB, they rattled off several new retailers coming to Omaha this year. One was Academy Spots. Anybody know where they might be going?
