It won’t be a new store. It will be a new location and the staff at Hibbett Sporting Goods in Hays is excited. Jordan, the manager on duty Tuesday, told Hays Post, “This new store will be twice the size. It will really be nice to have additional walls to display clothing and  especially nice to have a free standing location.”

The new store will be located between the new Wendy’s and the Fairfield Inn north of I-70 in Hays. “We expect to get a lot of hotel and of course some Wal-Mart traffic in the new store,” Jordan said.

Hibbett hopes to make the move from the Mall to the new store by the end of the year.
