"As a retail mecca for both New York and New Jersey residents, the Borough of Paramus is a perfect location for our superstore concept," said PGA TOUR Superstore President and CEO Dick Sullivan. "With plans to open just in time for the holiday shopping season, golf and tennis enthusiasts in the Northeast corridor will find PGA TOUR Superstore their one-stop shopping destination. Customers will quickly learn that we pride ourselves in offering the best and most popular brands along with expert advice.
