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]
