Seizing Visible Growth Opportunities
Dick’s Sporting Goods is a leader in the sporting goods industry,
with 294 stores located primarily in the eastern half of the
United States. We believe that there is an opportunity for us
to double the size of our chain in our existing footprint and to
expand our reach across the nation, increasing the total size
of our store network to at least 800 stores over time. In 2006,
we opened 39 new Dick’s Sporting Goods stores, introducing
us to seven new markets, while increasing our presence
50 percent or more in several key marketswe had entered
through the Galyan’s acquisition, including Chicago, Atlanta,
Minneapolis and Denver. We intend to expand our presence
in many of these and other key markets in 2007.
We augmented this organic growth by acquiring Golf Galaxy,
a leading specialty golf retailer with 65 stores in 24 states and
sales of $275 million in 2006. Golf Galaxy offers a differentiated
retail concept that complements our existing business within the
fragmented golf retail industry. Moreover, Golf Galaxy offers excel-
lent potential for both store and earnings growth, and we expect
the acquisition to be accretive. Co-founders Randy Zanatta and
Greg Maanum and their team who built Golf Galaxy into a retail
leader will continue to operate and grow the Golf Galaxy chain.
