Modell's Moves Into Springfield Commons
Modell's moved from the Springfield Mall across the street into Springfield Commons.
Modell's Sporting Goods opened its doors at 6701 Frontier Drive in the old Borders storefront on July 7, three days after closing its location in the Springfield Mall.
With additional locations in Reston, Manassas and Fairfax, the retailer sells sporting goods, athletic apparel and sports fan gear. As a new store in the Springfield Commons, Modell's joins Old Navy, Staples, TGI Fridays and several more retailers.
Before moving from the Springfield Mall which closed for major renovations, General Manager Jeff Hawley said, "It was quiet during the last days because [Modell's] was the only store left in the mall."
Hawley also said that the store hired 15 new employees after the move and is now fully staffed.
The store is open from 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.

Modells is the worst store that was in springfield mall. Both times I shopped there they forgot to take the security device off. Drive all the way home to find it still attached. Go back to the store, not happy, and the managers dont even care. I wonder how much merchandise has been stolen from there? They deserve it for hiring dumb employees who dont care!!

I had a very different experience - Last winter I lost a diamond earring in one of their changing rooms in the mall. I did not realize it was missing until I got home. When I called, they went and found it for me and held it until I could return an hour later. I was very impressed.
