Sportswear store opens in south Lawrence

D3 Sports LLC, a new sportswear store, planned to open in April at 2052 W. 31st St.

The store, established by two former Jock’s Nitch managers, will occupy 2,220 square feet in one of two free-standing buildings in the parking lot adjacent to On the Border Mexican Grill & Cantina, near Best Buy and Home Depot.

The store will sell apparel and collectibles. Dobbins expects first-year sales of up to $350,000.

The Mattress Firm, a Houston-based bedding retailer, plans to occupy another 5,000 square feet in the building.
