Insights
Academy Sports' aggressive 11-store expansion strengthens its multi-state footprint, creating 650 jobs while executing its planned 20-25 store growth strategy.
Academy Sports + Outdoors is executing an accelerated expansion strategy with 11 new store openings planned for Q3 2025 across 10 states. This represents substantial progress toward their fiscal year target of 20-25 new locations, having already opened 11 stores year-to-date.
The expansion strengthens Academy's presence in existing markets while entering new territories, particularly with locations in Boardman, Ohio; Beaufort, South Carolina; and Virginia Beach, Virginia already opened. The remaining eight locations opening this fall will further diversify their geographic footprint across the Southeast and Midwest.
This growth initiative is expected to create more than 650 new jobs across these locations, indicating significant operational scaling. The company is complementing these openings with community engagement through charitable partnerships with organizations like Boardman Township Park and Boys & Girls Clubs of the Lowcountry.
Academy's expansion strategy highlights their confidence in the brick-and-mortar retail model, contrary to industry trends toward e-commerce. Their full-service approach—offering free assembly services, licensing, and a price-match guarantee that beats competitors by 5%—demonstrates a focus on customer experience that can't be replicated online.
The company continues emphasizing their private label brands (Magellan Outdoors, Freely, etc.) alongside premium national brands, suggesting a balanced margin strategy that combines higher-margin private label products with traffic-driving national brands. Their myAcademy rewards program further indicates efforts to build customer loyalty and recurring revenue in an increasingly competitive retail landscape.
New locations strengthen Academy's existing footprint across 10 states
"We're excited to continue bringing the Academy experience to even more communities across the country this fall," said Eric Friederich, Senior Vice President of Retail Operations at Academy Sports + Outdoors. "Each location represents our commitment to helping active families have fun with the best quality products and the top brands at everyday market-leading value – whether they're gearing up for the game, the outdoors, or the adventures of everyday life."
