PROFILE |
 |
Academy Sports & Outdoors is near the head of the class among sporting goods retailers. The company is the third-largest full-line sporting goods chain in the US, behind The Sports Authority and Gart Sports. Academy's low-frills stores carry clothing, shoes, and equipment for almost any sport, including hunting, fishing, and boating. Academy has about 50 stores in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas; it plans to add more stores in the Southeast. Academy dates back to a San Antonio tire shop opened by Max Gochman in 1938. The business moved into military surplus items and during the 1980s began focusing on sports and outdoor merchandise. The Gochman family still owns Academy.
