Are you gonna argue with The Sports Authority? Now get in there and buy a StairMaster ... or some cleats ... or a basketball! The #1 US sporting goods chain (with more than 450 stores in 45 states), The Sports Authority sells sports equipment, general merchandise, shoes, bikes, and apparel, with a focus on premium brands. It also has an online store. The company's 2003 merger with Gart Sports (owner of the Sportmart and Oshman's chains) marked a major consolidation in the sporting goods retail industry with the merged company coming out on top. Senior managers of The Sports Authority together with an investor group led by Leonard Green & Partners took the company private in 2006.
