Academy Sports + Outdoors Expanding in Indiana

Shoppers in Indianapolis looking to update their sporting goods will have two new choices this fall as Academy Sports + Outdoors will open new locations in the Indiana state capital. 

Opening first will be the 75,000-square-foot Westfield-Carmel location, the company’s fifth in the state. Location number six in Indiana will be the 60,000-square-foot store that will call Avon home.

Additionally, Academy has signed a multi-year deal to serve as a Proud Partner of the National Football League’s Indianapolis Colts. The partnership will include collaboration on community events, social media, digital content, and more to enhance both the fan and customer experience.

"Academy Sports + Outdoors is thrilled to become a member of the Indianapolis community and a partner of the Indianapolis Colts,” said Lawrence Lobpries, Academy Sports + Outdoors' chief marketing officer. “Whether customers are cheering on the Colts, gearing up for fall sports, taking advantage of Indy's running and biking trails, prepping for deer season, or heading to the lake, Academy will soon be the destination for all things sports and outdoors."

The locations will carry a wide assortment of sports and outdoors products for customers to have fun out there. Academy is focused on providing the best service, experience, and value to help customers pursue the activities that they love and make new memories on any budget. Customers can expect to find Academy team members who are passionate, along with a unique assortment of the retailer’s private label brands such as Magellan Outdoors, Freely, H2OX, R.O.W., BCG, and Mosaic.

The two new locations are expected to bring a combined 120 new jobs to the communities. Individuals interested in careers at Academy Sports + Outdoors can visit careers.academy.com to apply for open positions.
