Dunham’s will remain open

Lease extended through January 2022

Dunham’s Sporting Goods will remain open at Crossroads Mall, the company announced on Friday.

The store has been in Fort Dodge for over 25 years, first opening its doors in November 1995.

“Working with the new owner of Crossroads Mall, with support from local government, business and community leaders, Dunham’s has been able to extend its lease at its current location until January 31, 2022,” said David Palmer, Dunham’s vice president, marketing and advertising.

Dunham’s has also expanded its store hours. The store will be open on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The store specializes in athletic equipment, clothing, guns and other sports-related items.

“We are extremely happy to reach an agreement that allows us to stay in our current location for another year,” Palmer said. “Fort Dodge is a great community with great people. We appreciate our loyal customers whom we have had the pleasure of serving over the years and our team members who have made it all possible. We look forward to continuing to provide you with the big names and low prices you have come to expect.”

Dunham’s is the largest sporting goods chain in the Midwest. The first Dunham’s opened in 1937 in West Bloomfield, Michigan. It was a small shop called Dunham’s Bait & Tackle. Today, there are over 200 stores in 22 states, from Nebraska to Maryland.
