DKS

Dick'S Sporting Goods, Inc.

A seller of sporting goods, apparel, and footwear, DICK'S Sporting Goods runs stores under banners like DICK'S, Golf Galaxy, Public Lands, and Going Going Gone!, plus the youth-sports app GameChanger—and in 2025 it added Foot Locker. Founded in 1948 after 18-year-old Richard "Dick" Stack's boss brushed off his ideas, he borrowed seed money from his grandmother's cookie jar to open a bait-and-tackle shop in Binghamton, New York—the company still bears his name.
