Dow Jones Description

Our Company was originally organized in 1945 under the name Dixie Supply Company in Florence, Alabama, in the marine and small aircraft business. In 1951, the Company started targeting school athletic programs in North Alabama and by the end of the 1950's had developed a profitable team sales business. In 1960, we sold the marine portion of our business and have been solely in the sporting goods business since that time. In 1965, we opened Dyess & Hibbett Sporting Goods in Huntsville, Alabama, and hired Mickey Newsome, our current Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The next year, we opened another sporting goods store in Birmingham and by the end of 1980, we had 12 stores in central and northwest Alabama with a distribution center located in Birmingham and our central accounting office in Florence. We went public in October 1996 when we had 79 stores and were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware as Hibbett Sporting Goods, Inc. We incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware as Hibbett Sports, Inc. in January 2007 and on February 10, 2007, Hibbett Sports, Inc. became the successor holding company for Hibbett Sporting Goods, Inc., which is now our operating subsidiary. Today, we are a rapidly-growing operator of sporting goods stores in small to mid-sized markets predominantly in the Southeast, Southwest, Mid-Atlantic and lower Midwest regions of the United States. ...
