Update: Here is a Cudahy NOW story on this.
What the heck is happening to Packard Plaza?
The once-venerable Cudahy shopping center — which has already lost Aldi in the past year or so and is facing the closure of Merchandise Outlet — is about to lose another significant retailer: Dunham’s Sporting Goods.
I confirmed the closure today. I posted a message on their Facebook page, and I got this response …
Yes, our Cudahy location is closing. However, please note that we do have a store in Franklin that is less than 6 miles away (http://www.dunhamssports.com/store-map/) from Cudahy.
This one hurts. Dunham’s is the only business of its kind on the South Shore, and it’s a favorite destination of mine for sporting goods for me and the kids. From batting gloves for Christian to fishing gear for me, our family shops there often.
I’d like to know what you think about the demise of Packard Plaza, and Dunham’s. Remember Gimbels? Post your comments below!
(FYI: Merchandise Outlet is in its “final days,” according to its website.)
