Academy Sports + Outdoors is continuing their wave of store openings, moving into new geographies in the process. They announced today that they’ve opened a new store in Peoria, IL, which is one of their northernmost stores to date.
It’s part of their expansion plans that include a goal of opening 120 to 140 new stores by the end of 2027. That will see their geography expand from Texas, the South and Southeast, into more western and northern states.
