    REI is a bit narrower focus and smaller square footage than Academy. Also, the co-op structure helps too.

    There is a mall not far, built in the early 70s. The anchors are Sears (closing), macy's (life support) and large Modell's. It'll be an assisted living facility soon enough.

    Ours has gotten a splash of life thanks to the addition of a bowling alley and one of the state colleges that turned the old JC Penney's into a branch campus.

    Before I left New England, the one near me was holding on by its fingertips.

    I think the issue with all of the sporting goods stores is that places like Walmart and Target are eating their lunch, too, not just Amazon and online retailers. I used to go to Bob's and Olympia for things like athletic shorts, because the selection wasn't great at the non-specialized big box stores. Now though, I got a couple nice pairs for $5 to $10 each at Target. Basketball shoes, my last two purchases have been online, because the selection was so much greater and better than Olympia.
