DICK'S CEO Lauren Hobart noted that the solid back-to-school season helped drive robust sales. Comps were driven by increases in average ticket and transactions from more athletes spending more per trip. The company will expand on concepts like House of Sport and the new next-generation 50,000-square-foot prototype. DICK's House of Sport opened two new locations at the start of Q3 2023, for a total of 12 locations, of which 9 were opened in 2023. The company plans to open 10 more locations in 2024 and have 75 to 100 open by 2027. Next-gen DICK's has 12 open locations showing relatively good performance.
