One of the largest brands in its category, Dick’s Sporting Goods enjoyed another strong year. Improved profitability, a new U.S. distribution center and the purchase of the Top-Flite brand from Callaway Golf Company should fuel Dick’s future growth and development. The superstore’s agility in reacting to market shifts as well as regional and seasonal differences continues to underpin its strong financial performance. Although its in-store expertise has yet to translate online, Dick’s enjoys high popularity in the social networking world and is building its own portfolio of brands to provide a more complete offer.
