Mega Sports Expansion Approved by Village Board

Giant gun and shooting supply store will create 20,000 square feet of new retail space under proposed plan.

Plans to expand and add 20,000-square-feet of new retail space to the gun retail shop were approved Monday night by the Plainfield Village Board.

The site plan, endorsed by the village plan commission, also calls for the building facade to be updated with the addition of brick and stone enhancements, a new entrance created and a new parking lot built.

The store, located at 16001 S. U.S. 30, sells handguns, rifles, shotguns, binoculars and other optics, ammunition, gun safes, hunting and shooting apparel, and other shooting sports supplies. It's been based in Plainfield for 12 years and is owned by Mark Daniels.

Mega Sports is among the top sales tax generators in the village, and this will push their numbers even higher, village Planner Michael Garrigan has said.

No changes will be made to the business' indoor handgun range, which offers 14 shooting lanes and electronic target movers.
