Welcome to the JJB Corporate Website
JJB Sports plc is one of the UK's leading high street sports retailer. JJB was originally formed in 1971 to acquire a single sports store which had been established in Wigan during the early 1900s. The store portfolio grew to 120 stores in 1994, at which point the Company was floated on the London Stock Exchange.
In 1998, JJB Sports acquired the business of Sports Division, which was JJB's largest competitor at the time. The acquisition then made JJB the largest sports retailer in the UK.
JJB now trades from over 330 stores nationwide with our principal aim being to supply high quality branded sports clothing, footwear and accessories at competitive prices.
JJB also operates a rapidly expanding chain of combined fitness club / superstores. The combination of a fitness club and superstore operating from the same site provides two income streams and enables JJB to offer its fitness club members very competitive membership fees, delivering excellent value for money for the members.
