Since then, it developed into having over 700 stores throughout the country, and outside the USA. While building and developing, Dick's also has bought out major outdoor and sports retailers such as Field and Stream, as well as Golf Galaxy, who are prominent names throughout the country.
The store in Wauwatosa just started in 2015, to join the high intensity sports retail market throughout the greater Milwaukee area.
