Ascendia Retail

Ascendia Retail is Australia’s leading sporting goods retailer, with a store network of over 150 retail outlets operating under the Rebel Sport, Amart All Sports and Glue brands.

The creation of Australia’s premier sports retailer began with the Archer Capital led management buyout of Amart in July 2004. At the time of Archer's acquisition, Amart was a largely Queensland based network of 26 large-format stores selling leading brand sports equipment, footwear and apparel at competitive prices. Archer sought to expand Amart’s footprint and in September 2005, led the bolt-on acquisition of Rowe & Jarman, a leading sporting goods retailer in South Australia, Western Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and the Northern Territory. The acquisition added more than 30 predominantly small-format stores to the network, and, together with a strategic store roll-out program, saw Ascendia grow to having more than 75 stores across every state in Australia.

Archer continued to drive Ascendia’s expansion strategy, and in March 2007 successfully acquired Rebel Sport, an ASX listed company and Australia’s largest sporting goods retailer. The acquisition was transformational for Ascendia, and added 63 large-format Rebel sporting goods stores, as well as 10 stores under the Glue Store brand, an apparel retailer of leading fashion brands. The combination of Rebel with Amart, culminates in Ascendia Retail as Australia’s market leading and premier sporting goods retailer, with over 150 stores nationally.
