Sporting Goods Stores

Sporting goods stores sell equipment, clothing and accessories for sports, fitness and outdoor activities. The category ranges from large multi-sport retailers to small specialist shops for climbing, fishing, running, paddling or winter sports. Their business follows the seasons closely, with demand shifting from ski gear to camping equipment and back again. Many independent stores also rent equipment, run workshops and organise group activities that build a loyal local community.
