History
In 1987, a group of investors purchased a struggling retailer called Gart Sports and renamed it Sport Authority. The new company quickly expanded, opening dozens of stores across the United States. In the early 2000s, Sport Authority began to open stores in Texas, starting with a location in Houston. Today, there are more than 30 Sport Authority stores in Texas, including locations in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, and San Antonio.
