Sports Store to Open in Macon

Not a big deal, but thought I would mention it - link here.

Kruder said Sports Fan-Attic is different from many other sporting goods stores.

"We don't deal in basketballs. We don't do sneakers," Kruder said. "If you want to go to a game and you want a jersey to wear, we've got it."

The store is licensed to carry merchandise from all the major league sports, NASCAR and the NCAA, Kruder said. Because of the store's location in Macon, Sports Fan-Attic will focus on Georgia teams including the Atlanta Falcons, Georgia Bulldogs and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, he said.

Sports Fan-Attic will employ about 7 or 8 people and will be located on the second floor of the mall, next to Dillard's department store. Kruder said the opening is scheduled for Aug. 1.
