DICK'S Sporting Goods operates the largest sporting goods retailer in the United States, selling equipment, apparel, and footwear to athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. Founded in 1948 in Binghamton, New York, the company is headquartered in Pittston, Pennsylvania, and runs more than 850 stores nationwide alongside its digital platforms.
Its engineering work spans four stated domains: mobile platform development, live streaming technology, scheduling and scorekeeping software, and e-commerce and retail technology. Much of this sits within GameChanger, a youth sports mobile platform providing live streaming, scheduling, and scorekeeping, and within the retail and digital operations of the wider group.
The business comprises several retail banners: the flagship DICK'S Sporting Goods chain, Golf Galaxy and Golf Galaxy Performance Center, Public Lands, Going Going Gone!, and the experiential DICK'S House of Sport concept. It also owns and operates the Foot Locker Business, a sneaker retail operation serving customers in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
The company traces its origins to an 18-year-old entrepreneur who started it with $300 borrowed from his grandmother. Its stated purpose is to inspire, support, and equip all athletes to achieve their dreams, and it reports giving back to communities across America.
