Academy Sports + Outdoors, a sports and lifestyle retail company, announced plans July 15 for two new stores in the Greater Houston area, including one in Missouri City.

The new 63,000-square-foot store, which will be located near Hwy. 6 and Sienna Parkway, is slated to create 100 new jobs and open before the holiday shopping season, according to Academy officials.

“Academy Sports + Outdoors has been a Texas tradition for over 75 years,” said Ken Attaway, executive vice president and chief operating officer for Academy. “We’re excited to continue offering our hometown customers even more convenient locations to shop our wide selection and everyday low prices on sports, outdoors and recreational products.”

The new store will provide similar products and services available at other locations, such as scope mounting, bore sighting, fishing line winding and spooling, propane exchanges and racquet stringing. The location will also issue hunting and fishing licenses.
