HIXSON: Academy Sports to open on Highway 153

Academy Sports + Outdoors, one of the nation’s largest sporting goods retailers operating more than 100 stores across the Southeast, is scheduled to open this summer across from the Oak Park Center on Highway 153. These stores offer a broad selection of equipment, apparel and footwear and the one in Hixson will feature a large boating and marine section which will be very popular in our boating oriented community.

Congratulations to Lorene Morris who recently celebrated her 100th birthday. She is a resident of Morning Pointe Assisted Living in Hixson.

Big Ridge Elementary School teachers Kim Pringle, Terri Robinson, Carrie Bishop and Pam Berman recently received grants from Unum for school projects.

Buffalo Wild Wings will be relocating to a new free-standing location at Oak Park Center on Highway 153. This will be a larger location.
