Tyler sports and outdoors enthusiasts have a new shopping option beginning this week, with the grand opening of Academy Sports + Outdoors on Broadway in South Tyler. The 86,000 sq. foot newly constructed building held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday.

Shopping in Academy is easy - virtually all of the 108 U.S. stores are designed the same. After walking in, turn left for sports gear and shoes, or turn right for hunting and fishing. Clothing and camping accessories can be found in the middle of the store.

You may have heard about Craigslist, the spartan-looking community site that is one of the most popular online destinations in the U.S.  The website, currently ranked the 11th most popular U.S. website, provides a free method for neighbors and local communities to meet, swap, sell, advertise and pretty much everything else you would want to do.  Last year, Craigslist came to Tyler / East Texas at http://easttexas.craigslist.org/.

For those unfamiliar with the website, here are a few things that can be accomplished for free using Craigslist:

• Sell that used car
• Find a full or part-time job
• Advertise a garage sale
• Meet up for a date
• Offer babysitter services
• Post a job opening
• Chat about…anything!
• Barter for some items
• Find or offer a ride
• Donate some furniture or supplies
• Find some real estate
• Buy a used cell phone
• Adopt a kitten or pet

Of course that’s just scratching the surface! Head on over to http://easttexas.craigslist.org/ and see for yourself!

Tylerites welcome the Kohl’s department store to South Broadway this October.

Visit Kohl’s at 7715 South Broadway, Tyler TX 75703.

Here is a link to the grand opening sale ad.

Secret: If you received a $10 off purchase coupon in the mail, you may redeem that coupon multiple times until it expires. Sources have confirmed that upon checkout, the Kohl’s associate will simply hand the coupon back and encourage multiple uses. This is a coupon for $10 off a $10 or more purchase, so this is a great opportunity to grab some stocking-stuffers or early Christmas gifts at a bargain!
