Headline: PGA TOUR Superstore Lands on Marlton Pike — Cherry Hill’s New One‑Stop for Golf, Tennis and Pickleball
If you’ve driven Marlton Pike (Route 70) lately, you probably noticed something new: a big, bright PGA TOUR Superstore has opened its doors in Cherry Hill. At roughly 40,000 square feet, the store is exactly the kind of larger‑format sporting retailer that changes the rhythm of a retail corridor — and for people who live off the I‑295 exits that feed into Cherry Hill, it’s now an easy stop for clubs, shoes, apparel, lessons and more.
Where it sits and why that matters
The store anchors the Route 70/Marlton Pike commercial strip that already hosts a mix of national retailers, restaurants and service businesses. For drivers coming off I‑295, Marlton Pike is one of the main east‑west spines into Cherry Hill — which means the Superstore isn’t tucked away on a side street. It’s situated to capture both local shoppers and people commuting from nearby towns like Marlton, Voorhees and the broader Camden County area.
That location is important in three ways:
– Accessibility: Marlton Pike’s direct connections to I‑295 make the store a convenient detour for regional drivers. If you’re heading to a tee time or stopping after work, it’s on the way.
– Foot traffic spillover: Big retailers tend to uplift neighboring businesses. Expect nearby restaurants, coffee shops and service businesses to get a bump on weekends and evenings.
– Retail clustering: The larger store helps keep shopping dollars in Cherry Hill rather than sending them to south Jersey malls farther away.
What the store brings to the community
PGA TOUR Superstore is a national brand built around a golfer‑first experience: a wide selection of clubs and accessories, demo and fitting bays, apparel and — increasingly — multi‑racket court sports gear. The Cherry Hill location appears aimed at being a one‑stop for golf plus tennis and pickleball gear, reflecting how South Jersey’s recreational interests are diversifying.
Local impacts to watch
– Jobs and services: A store this size typically creates a few dozen retail and service positions, from sales associates and club‑fitters to managers. That’s a positive for the local economy and for teens or part‑time workers looking for work close to home.
– Competition and collaboration: Smaller independent pro shops in the area may face stiffer competition on price and inventory. At the same time, the Superstore’s events, demos and clinics could help grow the overall market — more players means more local lessons, club fittings and rounds booked at nearby courses.
– Traffic and parking: Bigger stores bring more cars. If you live along Marlton Pike or drive it during rush hour, keep an eye on how the new store affects local flows, especially during weekends and sale events.
– Real estate & development: Large national retailers are often a signal that a corridor is stable or trending up. This could be one piece of a longer arc of reinvestment along Route 70.
What locals are saying (and where to look)
Community sentiment around new retail is always mixed: people like more choices and services close by, but they’re also cautious about traffic and the loss of smaller local businesses. Local review sites and neighborhood pages — Google Maps listings, Yelp reviews, and regional news outlets like NJ.com and Patch — are good places to monitor how shoppers and nearby residents are responding in the weeks after opening.
How this fits broader trends
Retail in suburban New Jersey continues to move toward experiential offerings — stores that let you try before you buy, schedule lessons, or attend demos. Golf and racket sports are also on the upswing: pickleball in particular has been a rapid growth sport nationwide, prompting retailers and clubs to expand gear selections and programming. A large, branded store on Marlton Pike reflects both those trends and Cherry Hill’s continued role as a regional retail hub.
Quick takeaways for drivers and neighbors near I‑295
– If you commute via I‑295 into Cherry Hill, the new PGA TOUR Superstore is now a convenient stop for equipment and fittings without a long detour.
– Local restaurants and businesses near Marlton Pike may see more customers — especially on weekends and evenings.
– Expect more hosted events: demo days, fittings and maybe clinics that could raise the profile of local courses and clubs.
