New Golftown in Kingston??

**justsomeguy** · 12-03-2007 03:40 PM

Saw this on the Flagstick site:

There is a lot of action in the golf retail sector these days. Nevada Bob’s will have a new Central/West Ottawa location coming soon. Also on slate is the opening of the new East Ottawa GolfTown at 500 Terminal Avenue on November 29th. Word is that another GolfTown will debut in another city in Eastern Ontario in the spring.

I'm guessing this has to be Kingston, though Belleville and Cornwall are also possible.

This is great news for my hoing but terrible news for my pocket book. It must be confirmed, they are hiring in Kingston.

**Dan_0** · 12-06-2007 01:44 PM

its going beside dollerama in the rio can near best buy. i'll look forward to seeing my fellow ho's in there. i'll be the guy picking up every club and surveying it to determine whether its going to make me a better player (or atleast happier for a couple weeks)

**jbrace** · 12-08-2007 11:37 AM

YES! YES! YES!

My wife, however, is not so impressed.

Did I already say YES!

**sharkhark** · 12-10-2007 03:05 PM

**Strangebrew** · 02-20-2008 06:41 PM

**MusicMan** · 02-20-2008 10:15 PM

**Don** · 02-20-2008 11:09 PM

I have found it is better to drive through the lot at least once a week cause I am gonna cause an accident as I drive by real real slow and drool. By my dry cleaner loves me, LOL

**Don** · 02-27-2008 01:27 PM

Look at my signature block... I'm in Kingston now...

**Strangebrew** · 03-10-2008 06:02 PM

Very excited about this finally happening. Does anyone know if the store's gonna open March 13th without any hoopla? Think there'll be any opening day door crasher sales? Is that sort of thing their style?

**Don** · 03-11-2008 12:14 AM

I was to the opening of the Ottawa East store, they had opening week sale one of the big ones I remember was they had the Callaway X driver on half price for $100.00, Adams Idea Pro's for $199.99 Wilson golf balls 15 pack for $9.00.
There was a lot of stuff and free draws too.
Only three more sleeps to the grand opening that is if we get any sleep, LOL

**nice_lag** · 03-12-2008 05:02 PM

I'm taking leave from work to be there... how crazy is that???

**MusicMan** · 03-12-2008 05:04 PM

ill see ya there. i might pop in late morning depending what time i get up.

DanO · 03-12-2008 08:43 PM

do they have shopping carts at gt? this could get ugly.

**foxman** · 03-12-2008 08:49 PM

Did they advertise any specials in the newspaper for tomorrow ?

**Don** · 03-12-2008 09:04 PM

Supposed to be a flyer in tomorrow mornings paper so I have heard anyhow.
As of 8am tomorrow morning my wife says she is filing for divorce, LOL

**nice_lag** · 03-13-2008 09:53 AM

Ahhhhh the feel of Golftown.

Some decent sales but not as many as I thought there would be. I think that there mostly GT-wide sales and not especially related to this opening. Reps were on-hand which is very nice. The general manager (Suzie) is very nice so that's an added bonus.

For some, a divorce turns out cheaper than a trip to GT

**MusicMan** · 03-13-2008 12:28 PM

Very nice store... very good grand opening. there was a rep from every company helping out which was really nice, as the sales staff were very busy. they were lined up at the cash when i walked in. the store looks exactly like the east end ottawa store.
