Dick’s Sporting Goods, one of the largest sports shoe chains in the US, opened 15 stores in the first quarter of the year, as well as two Field & Stream stores and eight new Golf Galaxy stores, bringing its total to nearly 700. 

Sales grew 9.9% to approximately $1.8 billion.

"Despite a challenging retail environment, we realised growth across each of our three primary categories of hardlines, apparel and footwear, and were pleased with the performance of our newly relaunched eCommerce site," said CEO Edward Stack.

The company expects to open 43 Dick’s stores, eight Golf Galaxy stores and eight Field & Stream stores this year.
