Galyan's Trading Company was an American sporting goods chain. It was founded in Plainfield, Indiana.

The store began in 1946 as a grocery store, founded by Albert and Naomi Galyan. By the 1960s, the Galyans began selling sporting goods instead.[1] The chain was purchased in 1995 by The Limited.[2][3][4] At the time, the chain consisted of only five stores,[5] but grew to 20 by 1999[6] when The Limited sold 60% of the company to the investment firm of Freeman, Spogli & Company.[7][8] The company became a publicly traded company when it released its IPO on NASDAQ in 2001.[9] Many of the stores featured rock climbing walls, golf simulators, and archery ranges.[10][11][12][13]

By 2004, Galyan's had 47 stores in 21 states.[10] That same year, the chain was acquired by Dick's Sporting Goods.[14][15][16]
