Its current store base includes locations in New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

Olympia Sports was acquired in 2019 by private equity firm CriticalPoint and some 75 stores were subsequently closed. Olympia was part of CritcalPoint’s active lifestyle platform, which also included the JackRabbit running chain.

In November 2021, Fleet Feet acquired JackRabbit. Olympia Sports remained under the ownership of CriticalPoint.
