“We are looking forward to providing active-minded families in Eagle Pass their own convenient Academy Sports + Outdoors location to stock up for barbecuing at Maverick County Lake, hitting the Municipal Golf Course, or turkey hunting on one of the local ranches,” says Ken Attaway, Academy Sports + Outdoors executive vice president, chief operating officer. “We’re looking forward to being an active member of the Eagle Pass community for years to come.” 

Academy’s Eagle Pass store will be approximately 58,000 square feet and create approximately 125 jobs. The store will provide many services including assembly and delivery, hunting and fishing licenses, scope mounting, bore sighting, line winding/spooling, propane exchange and racquet stringing and have a broad selection of local team gear that customers have come to expect. Academy is committed to offering the best brands at low prices – everyday. If customers find a lower price elsewhere, Academy will match that advertised price at any of its stores. 

A cornerstone of the Academy Sports + Outdoors philosophy is active community support and grassroots involvement throughout its footprint. The company has a history of giving back to local communities through partnerships with sports teams, youth organizations, and outdoor conservation programs. Academy is a proud partner of CCA Texas, Ducks Unlimited and National Wild Turkey Federation.
