CHAPEL HILL – The landscape at University Mall is once again changing with the addition of TrySports this fall.
“It kind of follows suit with what our whole strategy is for the center, which is really bringing the best of class regional and local operators,” UMall’s General Manager, Peter DeLeon says. “TrySports is just like that.”
TrySports offers gear and advice for swimming, running, and biking. DeLeon says the company offers two main services called Perfect Fit and Perfect Ride to make sure your purchase is just right for you.
TrySports will be taking 11,000 square feet on the east end of the mall, and DeLeon says this addition continues a recent big push for the mall.
“We have Harris Teeter finishing up a multi-million dollar expansion that should be completed in October, which will make it one of its flagship model stores,” DeLeon says. “We’ve got the momenteum of getting Glee Kids, Cynthia’s Tailor Shop, (and) William Travis Jewelers. TrySports is just another example of having, another great operator in the center.”
