Customers value the knowledgeable conversation about what’s new and what’s working
found inside a Dick’s Sportsman’s Lodge every bit as much as the purchase itself.
We apply that same attention to detail in our overall store design and selection. We believe that
our compelling new store economics and successful track record of careful, targeted expansion to
geographically contiguous markets continues to yield impressive results.
Dick’s continues to gain market share and improve operating margins through well-considered
store growth in both new and existing markets. In 2003, we opened 22 new stores in 12 states,
representing nine stores in existing markets and 13 stores in new markets.
