(Robinson Twp.) Dick’s Sporting Goods announced yesterday that they will furlough “a significant number” of employees, starting this Saturday. Dick’s stores remain closed due to the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak.

Furloughed workers will be paid through Friday, and they will maintain company benefits if currently enrolled in the program.

Sales will continue online and through curbside pickup at Dick’s and Golf Galaxy stores. The company said it will operate for now with “small teams” of employees in stores, distribution centers and its corporate office, with many of those workers and executives taking pay cuts.
