Sporty spice listen up - The Sports Authority is opening six stores in five states this Saturday. Well, the stores are already open and one of those stores is in Chicago (actually Orland Park) and another is in Milwaukee. As a do-gooder deed to celebrate the openings, The Sports Authority is making donations to local sports organizations and for the first 250 customers who show up at 8AM will get "mystery discounts" and randomly win gift cards throughout the day. Just a thought, it might be a good idea for anyone out there training for the marathon.
