Specialty Sports Stores or Major Sporting Goods Stores?

By: Ken Lewis

The specialty sporting goods store dominated the market in their area for decades. But lately the major sporting goods stores have integrated the specialty sporting goods store into a more complete shopping experience.

Today the major sporting goods retailers have learned to use the success of the smaller specialty sporting goods stores in there much larger stores. Dicks Sports Stores and The Sports Authority are the two major players in the sporting goods business that have successfully introduced many of the attributes associated with the specialty store.

Next time you go to a Sports Authority or Dicks Sporting Goods look around at the new specialty products they carry. Even big box discount stores such as Walmart and Target have a greater offering of sporting goods.

But, you might want to evaluate the following when shopping a sporting goods store:

1. Do they specialize or carry an extensive selection for the sport you are interested in?

2. Do they have frequent discount or coupon promotions?

3. When shopping a store, can you easily find what you are looking for?

Sporting goods stores are finally waking up to the reality that they must adapt to their consumers needs both in form of product and shopping experience. Without the focus on the consumer the sporting goods stores will not succeed in the future.
