Olympia Sports is a retail sporting goods company. The company was founded in 1975 in Portland, Maine. Today, it currently has 152 locations, mostly across New England, New York, and the Mid-Atlantic. It is currently headquartered in nearby Westbrook, Maine and has a flagship store in Boston.

Olympia Sports also housed the Olympia Sports Foundation, a non-profit clothing bank, where unused clothing and vendor materials are donated to individuals in need. The foundation was shut down in 2016 as a cost-saving measure.

In October 2019 it was announced that Denver, Colorado-based JackRabbit would purchase 75 of the remaining 152 stores, the other 77 stores to be liquidated. [1]
