↑ 17%JD Sports names new North America CEO, chief marketing officer. The sneaker retailer is shaking up its North American leadership as it looks to reverse soft sales and an extended slump in the stock market. 15 September 2026 JD Sports Fashion Plc named new executives for marketing and North America as the sports retailer looks to reverse soft sales and an extended slump in the stock market. The owner of the Hibbett and DLTR chains named John Mersho as chief executive officer for North America, effective immediately. Mersho, whose family founded Shoe Palace in 1993, was chief commercial officer for JD Sports North America since 2025. He replaces John Hall, who is retiring. Mersho will look to improve the company's product lineup as well as its e-commerce capabilities, according to the company's statement. He'll also aim to boost customer awareness. JD Sports also named company veteran Mike Grimes as chief marketing officer. He previously held the same role for the company's North America business. The company is looking to bounce back as weaker-than-expected sneaker sales led to a guidance reduction for the full year, and its shares have declined close to 70 percent from their peak in 2021. It recently named former Ikea group chief executive officer Peter Agnefjäll as chair to oversee turnaround efforts. North America is JD Sports' largest region, accounting for 38 percent of sales in the latest fiscal year. This was followed by Europe, which generated 34 percent of revenue in the same period, and the UK, which was nearly 25 percent. Late last month, JD Sports competitor Dick's Sporting Goods fell the most on record after reporting struggles at Foot Locker, citing a rise in promotions. The company said legacy sneaker styles aren't resonating like they once did, without naming specific brands. By Annie Bang The retailer cut its profit outlook after weaker-than-expected sales in the quarter, as customers grapple with cost-of-living pressures and pull back on discretionary spending. Analysis and advice from the front lines of the retail transformation.
Golf Galaxy signs on for large retail space at Deptford Mall. Specialty golf retailer Golf Galaxy has signed on for a large new location at the Deptford Mall, taking over the largest remaining mall space within the former Sears main department store building. The new Golf Galaxy will occupy approximately 27,000 square feet on the upper level, directly next to the Round1 Bowling & Arcade entertainment center. The space also has its own entrance from the mall's western parking lot, previously utilized as one of the exterior entrances for Sears. Golf Galaxy is owned by Dick's Sporting Goods, which operates a large store immediately below the planned golf retailer. The pairing creates an interesting two-level combination for the company and likely reflects strong golf-category sales at the Deptford Dick's location. This is a strong statement from Dick's Sporting Goods on the strength of the Deptford retail market as this will be the third large store concept in town... with Going, Going, Gone also located just minutes away. I first noticed something was planned for the vacant upper-level space when updated leasing documents showed the unit as "lease pending." I contacted the Deptford Mall management team at the time, but they were unable to disclose the identity of the incoming tenant. Then, just within the last few days, a loyal 42Freeway reader noticed that the mall's online directory had been updated to identify the space as Golf Galaxy. They appear in the main mall visual map and have a store directory listing. I stopped at the mall over the weekend to take photographs and check on the status of the project. At this point, no visible construction has started. A look through the glass doors shows a completely vacant interior with exposed concrete floors. This appears to give Golf Galaxy a clean slate for designing and building its new store. The project is likely still in its earliest stages, with design work and construction permits potentially still being developed. No opening date or construction timeline has been announced. The only other Golf Galaxy store is in Mount Laurel's Centerton Square shopping center. Dick's Sporting Goods continues growing their strong retail presence; soon in Cherry Hill they will be opening their 120,000sf Dick's House of Sport store. Golf Galaxy expands Dick's Sporting Goods golf offerings. Dick's Sporting Goods acquired Golf Galaxy approximately 20 years ago and has continued operating it as a specialty retail brand. Dick's has also incorporated Golf Galaxy-branded departments into some of its traditional sporting goods stores. The decision to open a separate 27,000-square-foot Golf Galaxy directly above the Deptford Mall Dick's Sporting Goods suggests the company sees an opportunity to significantly expand its golf offerings for Gloucester County and the surrounding South Jersey region. Golf Galaxy stores sell clubs from major manufacturers such as Callaway, TaylorMade, Titleist and Ping, along with golf apparel, footwear, bags and outerwear. Customers will also find golf balls, rangefinders, training aids and some of the newest technology designed to analyze and improve a player's game. A major component of the Golf Galaxy experience is its indoor simulator bays. Depending on the features selected for the Deptford location, the simulators could be used for lessons, individual practice sessions or an outing with friends. Golf Galaxy also specializes in custom club fitting, using advanced technology to analyze a golfer's swing and match players with properly fitted clubs. Repair and maintenance services are another part of the business, ranging from basic regripping to shaft work and adjustments to a club's loft or lie. And when your beloved golf clubs have kissed the bark of a tree once or twice, having those repair services nearby may prove particularly helpful. For now, the biggest news is that Golf Galaxy has officially appeared on the Deptford Mall directory. With no construction underway and no announced opening date, 42Freeway'll have to follow along as the plans move through the development process. Links and location.
