Who We Are:
As Ireland's leading and only Irish-owned sports retailer, Life Style Sports inspires and empowers the Stylised Athlete, across the whole island, through best-in-class omnichannel experiences for our customers.
Our modern Brand Centre sits in the heart of Dublin city above our flagship store, for seamless collaboration between our BC and stores teams. Our new carbon-neutral Fulfilment Campus leads the way as the first in Ireland.
Supported by over 800 team members across 43 stores, and a rapidly expanding eCommerce operation, we have a strong identity and distinct concepts (Boot Room, Women’s Studio, Trainer Central, Faster Stronger, and Kids), providing all the latest drops across performance and fashion from the biggest brands in sports, like Nike, Adidas, Under Armour and loads more.
Our culture is encapsulated through three core Brand Values: Social, Inspirational & Fearless. These are interjected into every aspect of our business, whether that's guiding the direction of our brand strategy, or inspiring our approach to team events and training days or workshops with leading brands. It's one of the many reasons we've been voted one of the Best Employers in Ireland every year by the Sunday Independent!
