Best Place to Buy Sporting Goods: Natick's Dick's Sporting Goods

Spring sports are in full swing and the warmer weather means more recreational activity outside.

This week we asked our readers where the best place to buy sporting goods in the area is and after days of polling, the readers have spoken, choosing in Natick.

Our shows readers will be stopping by Dick's Sporting Goods, located at 1336 Worcester St., Natick to buy their sporting goods as the popular franchise claimed 11 of the 16 votes (68 percent) to beat Medfield's one-stop department store, , which picked up two votes (12 percent).

Dick's Sporting Goods is considered a one-stop hub for all sporting goods needs. Dick's carries equipment, clothing, accessories, shoes and apparel for men and women athletes of all ages, including top-name brands such as Adidas, Nike, Reebok, Columbia and more. Dick's is named after its founder, Dick Stack, who opened his first sporting goods store in 1958. For more on Dick's history, click here.
