Nike opening store with only Michael Jordan items in Chicago
CHICAGO (AP) Nike is opening a Michael Jordan-only store in Chicago's Loop this weekend.
The new Jordan Brand store opens Saturday. The Chicago Tribune reports (http://trib.in/1GrWtmt ) it will sell merchandise with the trademarked Michael Jordan ''Jumpman'' silhouette. Nike also plans stores in New York, Los Angeles and Toronto featuring the former Chicago Bulls star. Jordan Brand offers basketball, training, sportswear and kids' products.
Nike Chief Executive Mark Parker says Jordan's popularity opens up a ''world of opportunity'' for the company.
Nike also said last week that it will report Jordan Brand financial results separately from its basketball division.
