TYLER'S COMPANY PROFILE

A Brief History Our story began in 1978 in Tyler, Texas. Back then we were a single store specializing in tennis and running. Within a few years we were nationally recognized as one of the top 25 specialty running stores in the United States.

Today we are proud to offer our customers a vast selection of superior athletic, lifestyle and collegiate apparel, footwear and accessories for men, women and youth in five convenient Texas locations.

Our original store in Tyler is called Racquet and Jog. We have two stores in Austin; one on the main drag across from the University of Texas main campus, and another at the Villages of Westlake located on the southeast corner of Bee Caves and Capitol of Texas Highway. Our Dallas location is in the heart of University Park/Highland Park on Lovers and very close to the Dallas North Tollway. Our 5th store is located at Southlake Town Square and is approximately 10,200 square feet on the ground floor and 5,500 square feet on the basement level in the former Crate and Barrel space, for a total of 15,700 square feet. We have continued to build stores in the Woodlands and Ft. Worth with new doors planned for next year.

Our Mission To be a leader in conveniently providing the best and widest selection in athletic and lifestyle apparel, footwear, eye wear and accessories while striving to inspire our customers and employees to pursue an active lifestyle and support our local communities and retailers
