Web news : Team Express Acquired by Investor Group

A group of investors led by Mark Marney, founder and former CEO of The Golf Warehouse and Baseball Savings, has acquired Team Express Distributing, LLC, owner of the popular BaseballExpress.com, Softball.com, FootballAmerica.com and TeamExpress.com.

Established in 1990, Team Express is recognized as America’s leading multi-channel sporting goods retailer. Its sport-specific entities serve individual consumers, and TeamExpress.com is the exclusive supplier to thousands of schools as well as professional and amateur teams, leagues and sports organizations.

A turnkey solution for equipment, apparel, footwear, team uniforms and training aids, the company features the latest in brand-name gear that helps athletes affordably play and look better. Easy-to-use customization tools help shoppers quickly personalize products to desired specifications.

“By modernizing our infrastructure, enhancing websites, intensifying marketing and creating even stronger inventory management, we have an amazing platform for significant business lift,” says Marney, CEO of Team Express. “Customers will enjoy even more efficient shopping experiences.”

Poised to widen its sporting goods leadership gap, new ownership and management are expanding existing soccer and basketball operations, and exploring entry into hockey, lacrosse, rugby and other sports.

Founder of The Golf Warehouse (TGW.com) in 1997, Marney, along with brothers Mike and Richard, grew that enterprise into the largest online channel in golf before departing in 2009.  They also started BaseballSavings.com.
                                                                                                                  
Team Express boasts loyal customers in 50 states and 38 countries, a philosophy of fanatical customer service as well as Major League Baseball and National Football League players, coaches and teams as ambassadors.

In addition to online stores, products for men, women and juniors are available via catalogs and a retail operation in San Antonio near the company’s headquarters. They showcase more than 50,000 SKUs of high-performance products from adidas, Easton, Louisville Slugger, Mizuno, Nike, Rawlings, Schutt, Wilson, Under Armour and other premium brands at highly competitive prices.
