VERNON, CT — Hyzer Disc Sports has settled into its new location at a plaza in the Rockville section of Vernon.

Town officials made it official Thursday with a traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Since 2019, Hyzer Disc Sports has been operating out of a garage at 72 Grove St. Owner Mike Barber said it was simply time to expand as disc sports continually grow. The plaza is located at 35 West Main St.

At 1,100 square feet, Barber thinks it will become the largest disc golf store in the state.

Dc. 4 was the last day on Grove Street and Barber said then, "Disc Golf is definitely a very niche business, but the sport is starting to explode. I think we will do well with that much space."

The area does boast three popular disc golf courses —Ecker Hill on the Vernon Center Middle School campus and at the Cross Farms recreation complex in Tolland and at Wickham Park in Manchester.

The new location is within 12 minutes of both Ecker Hill and the Cross Farms courses, Barber said.
