Sportswear company Nike Inc has announced the official opening of its Nike Factory Store at Gurnee Mills in Gurnee, IL.
"Nike is thrilled to open our newest Factory Store at the Gurnee Mills Outlet mall. The center offers an excellent opportunity to present our brand. In return, we're able to create jobs and, through our community involvement, provide support to kids in the Gurnee area," said Ed Stair, Nike Factory Store General Manager.
To celebrate the grand opening, Nike awarded a $5,000 cash and product grant to the Boys and Girls Club -- Gurnee Branch. The donation is a part of NikeGO, Nike's signature U.S. community affairs initiative aimed at getting kids more physically active. Chris Finkel, Executive Director, attended the grand opening ceremony and accepted the donation on behalf of the club.
"It certainly is wonderful to have a partner like Nike come to our community and care for the kids that need the most help. The financial donations and shoes will be utilized in our sports and recreation program," said Finkel.
