Golf retail chain to open new store in Brookfield

Austin-Texas-based Golfsmith International Holdings Inc. announced it will open its first Golfsmith Wisconsin store in Brookfield.
The new store will be located on Bluemound Road across from Brookfield Square Shopping Center next to a former Circuit Store and the Storms driving range.
The new store will span 25,000 square feet and will include an indoor driving range and custom fitting studios. The store is planned to open by June 2010.
The growing golf retail chain also will open a new store in Brea, Calif.
"We are very excited about these two new locations that will both open this spring," said Marty Hanaka, president and CEO of Golfsmith. "We are very proud to bring our golf retail concept to Milwaukee where we believe golfers deserve an inspiring golf retail experience, and our Brea store location helps us continue to fill out the Los Angeles market. This is just another step in continuing to execute our strategy and continue to grow our market share."
Golfsmith International Holdings is a 42-year-old specialty retailer of golf and tennis equipment, apparel and accessories. The company operates more than 70 stores across the United States.
