The Fans Edge store locations in the Chicagoland area should have a great year as both the Bulls and Black Hawks have really strong teams. The Black Hawks have 4 (Toews, Kane, Hossa, and Sharp)of the top offensive players in the league and also 2 rookies (Jimmy Hayes, Andrew Shaw) that are generating a lot of buzz....still early on the rookies though. Of course the Bulls have league MVP Derrick Rose although he has missed some games with a toe injury. With the new GM (Theo Epstein) regardless of the team record there will be a lot of interest in the Cubs. Hoping for the best with the White Sox....new manager Robin Ventura is a class act. Sales of Bears items should benefit from a new NIKE design.

In terns of expansion in the brick & mortar space on the recent CC management mentioned that they are more interested in adding kiosks to sporting goods stores, etc. but would not rule out eventually opening stores in a "4 sport" city. If that were the case my choice would be Dallas.
