A reader tipped me off that there’s a sign next to the Staples saying “Sports Zone coming soon.” Sports Zone is a local chain of “lifestyle footwear and apparel” stores with about 20 locations in the area, including the one on M Street in Georgetown, pictured. They seem to have mostly athletic shoes plus jeans, t-shirts, caps and such, judging from their website.
I’m ambivalent about this place, though I hope it doesn’t hurt Nash’s Sports, a smaller chain up in the Tivoli building north of Park Road.
I’ve bought a few things at the Georgetown location, they often have pretty good sales.
