As Dick's Sporting Goods broadens its licensed merchandise offering, the retailer is expanding Lids shop-in-shops across its U.S. store base. The initiative is already live in 46 locations and is expected to reach 100 stores by late summer 2026.
Highlights
- Dick's Sporting Goods will expand its Lids-branded shop concept from 46 to 100 U.S. stores by late summer 2026.
- The expansion aims to capitalize on demand for licensed headwear and merchandise by deepening sport, lifestyle, and fandom offerings through the Lids partnership.
- Dick's reported Q1 net income of $319.82 million ($3.54 per share), up from $264.29 million ($3.24 per share), despite earnings pressure from the Foot Locker turnaround.
Licensed merchandise expansion plan
Dick's Sporting Goods said in a press release on Monday that it is partnering with Lids to bring the branded shop concept to 100 Dick's stores nationwide.David Progar, senior vice president of licensed business at Dick's, said customers are seeking more ways to show support for favorite teams while also matching style trends. He said the tie-up with Lids, which specializes in licensed headwear, is intended to broaden choices across sport, lifestyle and fandom categories.
The collaboration is currently available in 46 stores, including locations in California, Colorado, New York and Texas. The company expects the footprint to expand to 100 stores by late summer 2026.
Retail performance and business context
The rollout comes as Dick's is balancing growth initiatives with pressure on earnings. In the first quarter, the retailer misses Wall Street expectations as the costly turnaround of legacy sneaker chain Foot Locker weighs on its bottom line.Dick's reports net income of $319.82 million, or $3.54 per share, compared with $264.29 million, or $3.24 per share, a year earlier. The Lids expansion adds another merchandising lever for the company as it looks to drive customer engagement and sales through branded in-store partnerships.
