Mitch Modell, CEO of Modell’s Sporting Goods, pretended to be a Dick’s Sporting Goods executive when visiting a Dick’s store in Princeton, N.J., a lawsuit alleges.
The CEO of a sporting goods chain pretended to be an executive from a rival company in an effort to get confidential information, according to a lawsuit.
Dick’s Sporting Goods claims in a lawsuit filed last week in Trenton, that Mitch Modell, CEO of Modell’s Sporting Goods, showed up at a Dick’s store in Princeton in February saying he was a Dick’s senior vice president.

Dick’s alleges Modell told employees he was to meet the Dick’s CEO and persuaded workers to show him the backroom of the store and to answer questions about the business.
Modell’s spokesman Jason Karlowski was not immediately available for comment Friday.
