Hibbett Sporting Goods, Inc., a national retailer based in Birmingham, Ala., announced it had executed a lease for a new store in Iola.
Hibbett Sports will open the new store this winter in the former Blockbuster building, 1606 N. State St. The company anticipates employing eight full- and part-time employees.
Hibbett is a fast-growing operator of more than 900 full-line sporting goods stores in small to mid-sized markets, predominantly in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, including 23 stores in Kansas.
The stores offer a large selection of quality branded athletic equipment, footwear and apparel, with a focus on customer service and providing customers with information they can’t always get at other stores selling sporting goods. Hibbett Sports has a long history of focusing on the needs of local teams and leagues, and their coaches and players.
