Wrigleyville Sports Expands Size of State Street Store and Extends Partnership
with Macy's

CHICAGO, March 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Wrigleyville Sports, a Chicago based
retailer of licensed Chicago Cubs, Blackhawks, Bears, Bulls and White Sox
merchandise, has expanded its presence in downtown Chicago.

Through an agreement with Macy's, Inc., Wrigleyville Sports has taken over
additional retail space in Macy's "vendor mall", located on the lower level of
their famous State Street location.  The agreement allows Wrigleyville Sports
to more than double the size of their previous floor space.  The store is now
over 2200 square feet.

"The expansion allows us to sell a greater variety of merchandise," says Mark
Ward, the manager of the store.  "With our store across the street from
Wrigley Field, we've always been known for specializing in Chicago Cubs
merchandise.  Now, with all this space here at Macy's, we're able to carry a
very large selection of Blackhawks, Bears, White Sox, and Bulls merchandise,
too."

City of Chicago souvenirs and merchandise have also been added into the mix of
products available at the State Street location.

"We're thrilled to be expanding our operations on State Street," says Trey
Carlstrom, the owner of the company.  "And we're elated to be continuing our
relationship with Macy's.  They've been a great partner. We're able to reach
so many Chicago sports fans here on State Street - not just Cubs fans who come
to our store near Wrigley Field. Hopefully, we can do even more with Macy's in
the future."
