The latest Dick's Sporting Goods in New Jersey is slated to open next month, bringing dozens of jobs to Monmouth County.
Dick's currently operates 18 stores in New Jersey, according to its website. The new store, in West Long Branch, is located on Route 36 in the Consumer Centre.
The store will hire 55 full- and part-time employees, as well as 25 temporary employees, the company announced in a release. Like other Dick's locations, it will sell athletic and outdoor apparel, team sports gear and equipment for golfing, fishing and fitness.
The store is expected to open in late May, and will mark the occasion with giveaways and special in-store appearances, according to a release. Additional information on the grand opening festivities had not been announced as of Friday.
