More in the mall

This weekend Black Sheep Sporting Goods opened in the former Penney's space in Silver Lake Mall, which the Knoll family now owns.

With buys for Christmas, Black Sheep offers clothing, gifts, camping items and toys. Gradually moving from its location near Costco off Government Way, the fishing goods will be moved in January and the hunting goods in February and March when it will close there.

Owners Dave and Barb Knoll started Black Sheep in 1975 in the old location behind the At Home store off U.S. 95, which they still use. It's closed during the move and will reopen in the spring.

Hours in the new store are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays. Brian Knoll is general manager, and Brandon Kron is the main store manager. Phone 208-667-7831. Check BlackSheepIdaho.com.
