Executive Summary
Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:
The US retail sporting goods industry includes about 20,000 companies with combined annual revenue of $35 billion. Large chain operators include The Sports Authority, REI, Dick's Sporting Goods, Academy Sports + Outdoors, Cabela's, and Hibbett Sports. The industry is fragmented: the 50 largest companies account for less than 50 percent of revenue. Only about 170 companies have more than five stores.

The industry is fairly labor-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is about $135,000.
PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY
Major products are outdoor clothing and shoes, firearms, sports and exercise equipment, and bicycles. Equipment accounts for nearly 50 percent of industry revenue, footwear 30 percent, and clothing 20 percent.

Traditional sporting goods retail stores vary in size from 5,000 to 20,000 ...
