Golf Galaxy has closed in the Montrose Crossing shopping center. The golf "superstore" sold golf equipment, offered repairs and accessories, and had on-site instructional programs and driving range/putting green facilities with a PGA professional.
The last few years have been a mixed bag for the chain, which is owned by Dick's Sporting Goods. On the one hand, up to two-thirds of Golf Galaxy's locations were expected to close four years ago, locations the company termed "low-performing." Yet just last year, Golf Galaxy opened 36 new stores across 16 states.
Their Montrose Crossing space is now available for lease, according to a sign in the window.
So is this in Bethesda, or Rockville?
ReplyDeleteToo bad this is a Federal Realty property. Otherwise we would be treated to Dyer's usual #ArgleBargle about "the rich fleeing Montgomery County".

ReplyDeleteDo people still golf? How about those under the age of 35?
ReplyDeleteMontrose Crossing has lost Hudson Trail Outfitters, Sports Authority, and now Golf Galaxy. Just a matter of time before Barnes & Noble closes.
ReplyDeleteB&N might be next. Word is that Federal Realty wants to redevelop this parcel now that the new sector plan has passed.
ReplyDeleteNo need to go north of Montrose anymore—
