Academy Sports + Outdoors announced that it will open two new stores in Kansas City this summer in Overland Park and Olathe. It also reached a deal to become the official sporting goods retailer of the Kansas City Royals.
In total, Academy Sports + Outdoors will bring approximately 300 new jobs to the area. Individuals interested in careers at Academy can visit www.academy.com/careers to apply for open positions when they’re posted in late spring for both locations.
These locations will each feature an archery lane and a digital golf simulator to allow customers to try out or fine tune their new products before purchasing. The stores will also provide many services including assembly and delivery, hunting and fishing licenses, scope mounting, bore sighting, line winding/spooling, propane exchange and racquet stringing and have a broad selection of local team gear.
The Overland Park and Olathe stores will mark the second and third locations in the state of Kansas along with Wichita, which opened in November of 2012.
