Lenexa, Kan. — Rally House, the fastest growing sports and local apparel retailer in the nation, hit a major company milestone at the end of April by surpassing 200 storefront locations throughout the United States. The family-owned company, who has been in business since 1989, has doubled its store count in just over 2 years.
During the weekend of April 27-28, Rally House opened new stores in its existing markets of Philadelphia; Louisville, Ky.; West Virginia; and Chicago, as well as opening its first location in Buffalo, N.Y.

Rally House is not slowing down after hitting the 200-store mark, as it has many new stores planned to open throughout 2024. Expansion this year will continue in existing markets, along with new major markets like Denver; Houston; Milwaukee; and Minneapolis.
