The American sporting-goods chain Academy Sports + Outdoor dates back to 1938, when Max Gochman opened the Academy Tire Shop in San Antonio, Texas. Max’s son, Arthur, learned a lot about the retail business from his father and in the 1970s he bought a chain of six military surplus stores in Houston.
Arthur Gochman bought out his partner in 1972 and changed the company’s business name from Southern Sales to Academy Corp - borrowing the name from his father’s stores. The chain grew quickly, expanding to 8 stores in 1980 and 12 in 1985.
Today, the brand has grown to include 301 stores across 21 states, providing outdoor apparel, footwear, sports and recreation equipment and more. The company has plans to open up 160-180 more locations over the next 5 years.
When it comes to ecommerce growth, Academy Sports + Outdoors has been seeing impressive success. In September of 2024, they reported ecommerce sales growth for the third straight quarter. Online sales accounted for 9.7% of total sales, up 30 points from the previous year.
Academy has made significant changes to increase their ecommerce capabilities by introducing a new loyalty program. Their omni-channel presence is strong, with a seamless shopping experience through online, in-store and curbside pickup options.
