Looking forward to it. They usually have great prices on ammo
What about Springhill Outfitters?
Too expensive. Hard to support small business when other places offer better prices
Yeah another option for sports equipment besides Dicks sporting goods
I would shop for sporting goods at a gas station before I would go to Dicks.
Will it have an archery and/indoor gun range?
No range.. its a big box sporting goods store, not a podunk gunshop.
Highly doubt it. Ive never been to an Academy in any State that had any sort of live fire range.
This company is owned by Dick’s Sporting Goods. It’s a carbon copy of the chain with different branding.
From Academy’s website – 2011 – Academy Sports + Outdoors is acquired by an investment fund and other entities affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., (together with its affiliates, “KKR”), a leading global investment firm. 2021 – Academy becomes an independent company. NOT a subsidiary of DSG
Nope. Academy is owned by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts.
I’m glad they are here. Finally some close sporting goods store. Fishing and camping YAY!! So glad they are here. Those who don’t like it, keep driving, Dicks and others are at White Oak.
Yay so glad they are here. Selma needed these shops! I shop at the one in Goldsboro so this is AWESOME.
