Sporting good is a fragmented industry and highly competitive. Dick's Sporting Goods is one of the big sporting goods chain (I believe the largest) and one of the best. This article gives some good information about the industry and company: Retail's Rising Star
One of the most important points I think the article makes is about how the sporting goods industry differs around the country, that how people buy sporting goods and what they buy and when they buy differs in a state like Florida from a state like New York. Now having the right products stocked at the right time can thus lead to disaster for a sporting goods retailer.
