According to a Monday evening post on Facebook by Mayor Stan Hogeland, the sporting goods superstore will be located on Odum Road near Exit 271 on I-65. The 55,000 square foot building will be located next to Longhorn Steakhouse. 

“Economic development and attracting this type business is highly competitive and I couldn’t be prouder that Gardendale was chosen for their newest store.”

Gardendale Mayor Stan Hogeland stated in Facebook post 

This will be the fourth Academy Sports + Outdoors in the Birmingham metro area and the first along the I-65 corridor in Jefferson County.
