PART I: COMPANY ANALYSIS 1- Introduction of the company 1.1 History: In 1982 a store in Maidenhead is opened by Mike Ashley. It’s the birth of Sports Direct. However this name was not the first one. Indeed, it was called primarily Mike Ashley Sports. In the 1990s, the founder opened many stores in and around London and over 100 stores across the United Kingdom. By that time, the name of the chain was changed to Sports Soccer. Although the high number of stores, Mike Ashley was a sole trader and his chain did not acquire the company status until 1999. By doing so, the borrowing power of the company increased and in 2002 he went on to buy Lillywhites, the prestigious sports shop in Piccadilly Circus. In 2005, Sports Direct acquired Hargreaves, Gilesports, Streetwise in 2006, and Fieldamp;Trek in 2007(History of the Company. Sportsdirect.com). In this same year, Sports Direct’s shares were listed on the London Stock Exchange and by 2009, Sports Direct operated 470 stores(Annual Report 2009) in the UK. 1.2.
