We’ll soon have one less local store in the neighborhood — a reader tipped me off to store closing signs at Nash’s Sporting Goods in the Tivoli building on 14th. I can’t say I’m surprised, since Modell’s Sporting Goods and Sports Zone both recently opened in DCUSA.
They’re having a clearance sale now, including store fixtures if you’d want them, so it may be a good time to get some good deals. Shoes were 20% off the sale price already, and things are up to 50% off. They also have lots of t-shirts, jerseys for football, baseball, soccer and other sports, and other general sporting goods merchandise
The bigger question is: does it matter? A local store closed because they couldn’t keep up with bigger chains, basically. I saw way more people in either Modell’s or Sports Zone than Nash’s so you could argue that they just did a better job. Do you think that’s a bad thing?
I haven’t heard anything about what’s coming in or when they’re leaving. Let’s hope it’s something good.
And I wonder what might close next? I like the Uptowner deli next to Nash’s, but I wonder how business will be once a Panera comes into DCUSA. I generally don’t see many people in there.
