Academy Sports + Outdoors announced it will open a store in Denham Springs, La. just outside of Baton Rouge. The new store, located at the northwest corner of Juban St. and I-20, is part of the Juban Crossing retail development and will add 150 new jobs to the area.
Academy also announced the renewal of its multi-year partnerships with the New Orleans Saints and LSU Tigers. The 71,000 square foot store will be Academy’s 17th in Louisiana and third in the Baton Rouge area. The store will offer a new digital golf simulator for golfers to test-drive Academy’s wide selection of clubs, plus a new archery shop with a lane for customers to try out and be fitted for the right bow. Customers will enjoy the store services they are familiar with at the two existing Baton Rouge locations, such as assembly and delivery, hunting and fishing licenses, scope mounting, bore sighting, line winding/spooling, propane exchange and racquet stringing.
