CHICAGO - Dick’s Sporting Goods said on Thursday it will hire up to 9,000 workers to cover the key holiday season in its stores, 1,000 more than last year, expecting a jump in online orders for curbside or in-store pickups amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The number of people visiting Dick’s outlets declined nearly 54% in May, according to data firm Placer.ai. While this has since improved, traffic is still about 9% lower than last year, the data shows. Ship-to-store orders - where customers buy online and pick up from a store of their choosing - accounted for three-quarters of all online orders in the quarter, Dick’s said.
