Wrigleyville Sports Announces Further Expansion of Wrigleyville Store, in Time for Upcoming Cubs Season

    CHICAGO, IL, February 27, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Wrigleyville Sports, an official retailer of Chicago Cubs merchandise, is excited to announce it will be expanding its store (959 W Addison) located across the street from historic Wrigley Field, in Chicago. The retailer underwent an expansion in the Spring of 2010, nearly doubling their browsing area. With the recent acquisition of the former location of Sitclose Tickets, the store will continue its growth eastward, towards the Addison Red Line stop.

"The store has always tried to carry everything, and more, for the Chicago Cub fan, but with the resurgence in other Chicago teams like the Blackhawks and Bulls, we needed more space to display a wider range of merchandise," said John Moorehouse, Store Manager for the Wrigleyville location. Although located in Wrigleyville, the store caters to Chicago fans of wider interests than just baseball. An even greater selection of merchandise can be found on the company's website (www.WrigleyvilleSports.com).

Last season, the corner of Sheffield and Addison saw crowds of fans flock to witness the unveiling of the Ron Santo statue. Fans wait in anticipation to discover what types of benefits will come from the addition of former Red Sox GM, Theo Epstein, to the Cubs' organization.

The store expansion has already begun and is expected to be complete by the Home Opener against the Washington Nationals on Thursday, April 5.
