Santa Fe Place mall plans to add sporting goods store by end of year
Santa Fe Place mall is getting a major new tenant, as Dunham's Sports, a large Michigan-based sporting goods company, is expected to open by the end of the year.
Mall General Manager Antonio Chavez said the retailer will be moving into the space formerly occupied by Conn's HomePlus, as well as an adjoining space. The two spaces combined will provide Dunham's Sports with nearly 60,000 square feet of space, making it one of the largest mall tenants.
'We're very excited to have Dunham's Sports in Santa Fe,' Chavez said, adding the retailer will give residents another reason to shop locally instead of driving to Albuquerque. 'It's good competition, and it helps the mall to keep growing."
According to its website, Dunham's Sports operates more than 250 stores in 25 states and bills itself as the largest sporting goods chain in the Midwest. The company's online store locator does not list any other locations in New Mexico.
Attempts to reach company officials were unsuccessful.
Dunham's Sports offers a full line of sporting goods as well as apparel, outdoors equipment, electronics, bedding and footwear. It also offers a large selection of firearms.
While Santa Fe has lost a handful of national retailers in recent months — including Big Lots, Party City and Joann, as each of those companies downsized significantly or ceased operations — Dunham's Sports will be the second such business the city has attracted in that time.
Daiso, a Japanese value retailer that operates 6,000 stores worldwide and 150 in the U.S., opened in the Plaza Santa Fe shopping center on Zafarano Drive in January.
