Introduction "DICK's Sporting Goods"

Hello Everyone! 

First off, I would like to thank everyone who is reading my blog and following me! It's nice to see that I have followers out there who like what I have to say and what I have to share! Thank you!

The company that I have chosen to do thought out my time in this class is "Dicks Sporting Goods."  Dicks Sporting Goods is a company that was founded in 1948.  This company is an "Authentic full-line sporting goods retailer offering a broad assortment of brand name sporting goods equipment, apparel and footwear in a specialty store environment" with an outstanding $6.21 Billion dollars in annual revenue.  They are also a publicly traded company. 

Dick's Sporting Goods mission statement is simply this; "At DICK’S Sporting Goods, we ensure ultimate customer satisfaction by employing an exceptional team of associates, who truly “live” our brand. Our associates demonstrate a combination of drive, skill, commitment and passion for our business that is shared with the athletes and enthusiasts we serve. These experts draw on their personal experience and passion for sports to guide, inform and inspire every customer, helping to make DICK’S Sporting Goods the top destination for dedicated athletes in every activity, for every season."  

At first, originally, Dick’s Sporting Goods was about targeting people in different athletic sports. For example, they would carry equipment for golf, football, softball, basketball, soccer, and track.  Now they have broaden their target market by caring products that fit any outdoor even indoor activity.  First they were targeting people who were strictly athletic and over the recent years they have expanded their products to fit people who weren’t athletic.  They now carry workout clothes, stuff for people to go camping, hiking, or just being in the outdoors in general.  They also carry many types of athletic shoes to running shoes or just simply everyday wear tennis shoes. 

Dick’s Sporting Goods isn’t just for people who are athletic anymore.  It’s a store where any can come in find what they need.  They offer many different products for many different people and they are constantly adapting to what is happening in the world and making sure that their customers and their future customers are satisfied with what they have to offer.
