Revenues at Lifestyle Sports stores across the island of Ireland broke through €100 million last year generating a profit before tax of €4.18 million for the privately owned group.
It operates 63 stores and has seen employment rise from 419 to 459 over the same period.
Rising consumer expenditure and investment in a series of new flagship stores such as those in Dublin, Galway and Belfast have combined to create a favourable current for Lifestyle who together with Elverys Intersport and Sport Direct have been strong performers in the overall retail sector in recent years.
Lifestyle last week announced a deal to become the Official retail Partner of Dublin GAA, the largest sports brand in the country, while it also has deals with Munster and Leinster Rugby.
The new Irish soccer jersey ahead of the Euro’s and a new Irish Rugby shirt with Vodafone’s change of sponsor will add to what is likely to be an already strong year within the business to follow up on these figures relating to 2015.
