First Look: Wilson opens new store at Mall of America
Wilson Sporting Goods Co. is expanding its store count by opening a new location at America’s largest shopping mall.
The new 2,600-sq.-ft. store at the Mall of America will offer shoppers products including the official basketballs of the NBA and WNBA, leading tennis rackets and accessories, as well as other Wilson products and sportswear apparel for men and women.
The store will also feature Wilson’s racket stringing and “Equipment Room,” where shoppers can rent select products to play-test on their own before purchasing. Customers will be able to use the program for sporting goods needs across tennis, pickleball, padel and more. Rental fees range from $5-$10 per day based on product, and all rental fees will be taken off the final price if purchased.
The Mall of America store is Wilson’s first entry into Minnesota and eighth location overall. Earlier this year, Wilson opened its first store on the West Coast, at the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, Calif. Wilson’s other retail locations include three stores in New York City, one in Chicago, one in Houston and one in Central Valley, N.Y.
