SportsZone is Coming to Columbia Heights
Sheeds/Air Force 1s. SportsZone is known for sneakers.
DC USA, the crowning retail establishment of gentrification-central (Columbia Heights), is about to get another new business (finally). Prince of Petworth has the scoop:
I’ve just learned that the newest tenant coming to DC USA will be a SportsZone. They are a sports and apparel company with locations in MD, VA and DC. They’ll be located between the Lane Bryant and Staples on the 14th St, NW side. They are looking to open by the end of Nov.
SportsZone is a local chain. Some of you may know its flagship location near Wisconsin and M St in Georgetown; it’s the store with the massive photographs of athletes in action displayed above its doors . Their other DC locations include Howard University, H Street NE and Alabama Ave SE. I have fond memories of SportsZone because a decade ago, they helped me locate three pairs of my favorite running shoe, ever.
