The outdoor recreation store will be part of the former Sears building

The long awaited grand opening of the Sierra store in Colonie Center is not too far off. Brandon Reynolds, Colonie Center's manager, told News 10 that the retailer will officially open its doors on August 10th. 

Sierra (formerly Sierra Trading Post) sells gear for fishing, camping, biking and other outdoor and athletic apparel. 

For the grand opening, they plan on having a live DJ, gift card scavenger hunt, and a $10,000 donation to a local charity. 

In addition, Sierra is staffing up for full and part-time positions. You can apply in person at the store between June 30t and July 20 or online at TJX.com/careers.
