Houston, Texas-based Academy Sports & Outdoors retail stores announced they are opening a store in Eagle Pass, Texas on North Veterans Boulevard adjacent to the Marriott Towne Place Suites.

Construction for the new Academy Sports & Outdoors store in Eagle Pass has already begun. Academy is a full fledge sports and outdoors retail leader offering the highest quality sporting goods, equipment, clothing, and accessories at economical prices.

Eagle Passans are excited and enthusiastic about Academy Sports & Outdoors opening locally because they will not have to travel to San Antonio or Laredo to purchase their sporting goods and outdoors merchandise.

Levcor, Inc., a Houston real estate company with Eagle Pass ties, is responsible for attracting and recruiting Academy Sports & Outdoors to open a retail store in Eagle Pass.

Middle Rio Grande Development Council and the Texas Workforce Commission are assisting Academy Sports & Outdoors in interviewing persons interested in applying for employment, said Ronnie Rivera of the Middle Rio Grande Development Council.

Any person interested in applying for employment with Academy Sports & Outdoors should go to the MRGDC Workforce Center office located at 1200 Ferry Street or call them at (830) 773-1191 for more information.
