Packers Calendar: Pro Shop Grand Re-Opening

Packers/Packers Pro Shop hats will be given away to the first 1,100 shoppers on Thursday.

Fans that have visited the Packers Pro Shop in Lambeau Field in seasons past will barely recognize the new version that's being unveiled on Thursday in Green Bay.

Doubling in size, shoppers will see the new space for the first time as part of a grand re-opening ceremony, starting at 9:00 a.m. with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“There’s so much to see, so many unique features, and so many items, that we expect fans will spend several hours at a time just to take it all in,” said Kate Hogan, Packers director of retail operations. “It’s a total Packers immersion shopping experience.”

Among the new features in the 21,500-foot space are a six-foot gameday helmet replica hanging from the ceiling, a 10-foot by six-foot football light fixture also hanging from the ceiling, a refurbished 1957 Packers-themed truck and a two-sided video wall featuring 12 55-inch panel TVs.

Merchandise will include men’s, women’s, youth and children’s sections, home goods, tailgating accessories and Packers collectibles. Additionally, a new a non-Packers branded area will be introduced, featuring goods by top companies including Lucy, Kühl, Nike golf, and Cutter & Buck. These items do not carry the Packers logos and marks, but offer our in-store customers some of today’s top brands.

As part of the grand re-opening activities, face painting will take place from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. and a brat fry will occur from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., sponsored by Johnsonville and Delaware North Companies Sportservice with proceeds going to Paul's Pantry. Brats will be $2 each.

The featured giveaway on Thursday will be Packers/Packers Pro Shop caps by 47 brand, given away to the first 1,100 customers. More giveaways will take place through Sunday along with many other drawings.

Elsewhere within Lambeau Field, a job fair will be held from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. by Delaware North Companies Sportservice.

Sportservice is seeking employees to fill a variety of part-time seasonal and game-day positions in general concessions, premium dining and catering operations, as well for daily operation of Curly’s Pub.
