BSN Sports, the nation’s largest direct marketer and distributor of
sporting goods to the school and league markets, has completed the
acquisition of Olympia Sporting Goods Inc. of Montgomery, AL.
Olympia,
family owned and operated since 1973, is a leading distributor of team
apparel and equipment in the state of Alabama. Prior to this acquisition
Olympia was a member of the Sports Inc. buying group.
“We are thrilled to welcome the men and women of Olympia to the BSN
Sports family”, said Adam Blumenfeld, the company’s chairman and CEO.
“We appreciate Coach Joiner entrusting us to carry the Olympia torch
forward in Alabama, Northern Florida and beyond. The combination of
Olympia’s loyal team and strong customer relationships with BSN’s 1500
valued vendor partners; 200 decorating and design experts; $30 Million
in quick ship inventory, and easy-to-use customer facing technology is a
perfect fit. We look forward to helping further cement Olympia’s
storied legacy in the South.”
Coach Joiner remarked: “BSN is one
of the fastest growing companies in the sporting goods industry. Their
technology and innovation is the very best. It is with great pleasure
that Olympia and our sales pros become part of the BSN SPORTS family”.
Blumenfeld
concluded: “With the addition of East Texas Sports Center and Olympia
Sporting Goods, we have added two fantastic sales organizations in the
last 30 days and more than 120 sales pros nationwide in the last twelve
months. Our mission remains simple: create game-changing solutions that
deliver on our promises and WOW our customers.
We tirelessly serve our
150,000 clients and help foster lifelong careers for our 1000 teammates –
careers that are fulfilling both emotionally, and financially. We also
find time to have a ton of fun! If you are interested in joining the
party, and the fastest growing employee-owned organization in sports,

“These new partnerships would be
impossible without the efforts of Tevis Martin, Executive Vice
President; Bob Dickman – Director of Acquisitions; Michael Caravati –
Director of Recruiting; Regional Manager Grant Thompson, and the
numerous support and transition teams that make it happen without
missing a beat. We have recently added new teammates across the USA,

Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, New York, Florida and Tennessee. We
continue to seek partners that share our values and have a passion for
building genuine, long-lasting relationships with customers.”
