Nike Dunks site sometime in June or July.
The new store will feature brand shops for NIKE and Adidas, as well as a NIKE tennis shop and a team department that will have special NIKE and Adidas soccer presentations.
Once doors open at 8 AM, the first 250 guests will receive mystery bucks with the opportunity to win a $500 shopping spree. In addition, the store will offer $100 gift card giveaways every hour from 9 AM until 6 PM as well as the opportunity to register to win prizes including a Sorrento trail bike. Additionally,
Nike Zoom Hyperfuse and Adidas will be hosting celebrity athlete appearances/events on Saturday and Sunday, May 14th and 15th at the new Beaverton Sports Authority:
Lulow, though, argues that the city had begun negotiations with SoloPower in October and had plenty of time to put the issue to voters.
“I firmly believe the council didn’t send it to voters because they know it would have gone down,” he said.
Ludlow also took issue with the impression that his views are in the minority.
Though advocates for the SoloPower proposal outnumbered opponents at recent City Council meetings, Ludlow said those crowds now pale in comparison to the number of volunteer petition gatherers that have since joined the cause.
