 Premium, full-service fitness retailer to open in Chapel Hill

CHAPEL HILL, NC, May 20, 2013 – University Mall announced today that popular specialty fitness retailer TrySports will open its first Chapel Hill location and only Triangle location at the mall this Fall, 2013. The University Mall location will be TrySports fifth location and the second under its expanded, larger format.   TrySports currently has two locations in Charlotte, NC, one in Wilmington, NC and one in Mt. Pleasant, SC.

TrySports offers specialty retail and a full-service fitness experience in the categories of Run/Walk, Bike, Yoga, Fitness and Swim as well as providing extensive, free community fitness programming. Focused on superior service, custom fitting and exclusively offering premium brands for each category, TrySports will bring a unique fitness experience to Chapel Hill and surrounding areas.

“We are thrilled to welcome TrySports, another best in class retailer to University Mall,” said Jeanette Gulledge, Director of Marketing for University Mall. “With its superior service and products, coupled with the almost-daily free fitness programming, it is sure to bring a new level of excitement to the mall as we continue to add to our dynamic tenant mix and build on our own community programming.”

TrySports will occupy 11,876 square feet of space, located adjacent to anchor store Southern Season. The space is currently undergoing a complete remodel and build out with completion expected this fall.

“TrySports’ mission has always been to inspire healthy communities so a health-conscious and fitness oriented market such as Chapel Hill is an ideal location,” said Hal Smith, CEO of TrySports. “We are excited to be joining University Mall, a premium center positioned as a top retail destination in Chapel Hill with more exciting development on the way.”

University Mall has seen a flurry of new tenants in early 2013, adding Glee Kids, Cynthia’s Tailor Shop and William Travis Jewelers along with TrySports this year. Additionally, Harris Teeter is undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation that will offer a completely remodeled store as well as the addition of a pharmacy.
