Field & Stream is a retailer of hunting, fishing, camping, and related outdoor recreation merchandise that is a subsidiary of Dick's Sporting Goods. The company's logo date of "1871" references the origination of Gordon & Ferguson Merchandising Company, who sold clothing under the brand "Field and Stream" starting in 1915. Dick's purchased licensing rights to the name from Gordon and Ferguson's successors in 2012.[1][2]
In 2021, Dick's began the converting existing Field & Stream stores to Public Lands stores, which are similar to in concept, but with an increased emphasis on local conservation efforts and preservation of public lands along with a decreased emphasis on hunting and firearms.[3][4]
History
On August 16, 2013, Dick's Sporting Goods opened its first Field & Stream Shop in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, at the site of the former Dick's location in Cranberry (Dick's had moved to a newer location nearby in Cranberry Township in 2012), operating as a competitor to Cabela's.[5] Willie Robertson of the reality television series Duck Dynasty made a speaking appearance at a wedding at the store, with both participants dressed in camouflage,[6] as well as retired WWE wrestler Shawn Michaels (currently hosting MacMillan River Adventures on the Outdoor Channel) appearing at the store to sign autographs for the grand opening.[7] Later in the month, the store began selling AR-15 semi-automatic rifles,[8] ending the chain's 2012 self-imposed suspension of sales of certain semi-automatic firearms following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.[9]
The first locations opened after the Cranberry store were in Erie, Pennsylvania (on the site of a proposed Cabela's store that Dick's had purchased before Cabela's had a chance to buy it), Altoona, Pennsylvania,[10] and Crescent Springs, Kentucky.[5] On October 10, 2014, a newly constructed Field & Stream Shop opened in Miamisburg, Ohio, and Horseheads, New York. The Miamisburg store opened its doors on October 8, 2014, although the official opening was not until October 10, 2014.[11] As of 2024, the chain has 4 stores across the United States, including stores as far west as Texas.[1]
In October 2019, the Utah based company Sportsman's Warehouse acquired eight Field & Stream stores.[12] In March 2020, the company acquired two additional stores.[13]
In 2021, the original Field & Stream store in Cranberry Township was replaced by Dick's newest concept called Public Lands, which is similar to Field & Stream in concept but places emphasis on local conservation efforts.[3]
