Dick’s Sporting Goods will purchase outdoor outfitter Moosejaw from Walmart for an undisclosed amount.

Dick’s Sporting Goods announced Wednesday that it had agreed to buy outdoor outfitter Moosejaw from Walmart.

"We admire what Moosejaw has accomplished over the past 30 years as leaders in the outdoor industry," he said.

The deal is expected to close in March 2023.

Moosejaw was founded in Michigan in 1992 and operates an e-commerce platform and vendor relationships with other outdoor brands. The outdoor retailer also has brick-and-mortar locations in Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan and Missouri.
