Founded in March 2009 when Dave Whelan purchased the 50 JJB Sports Fitness Clubs and the attached retail stores for £83.4 million.[2] At the time all the sites were shared between a fitness club and retail store, with most cases seeing the fitness club downstairs and the retail store upstairs. Since that time the group has grown to encompass more than 60 sites, including stand-alone retail stores and stand-alone fitness clubs. RetailAssociation with IntersportIn April 2011, in an effort to boost the profile of their retail stores DW Sports joined the international buying group Intersport.[3] As a result, the Intersport logo was incorporated into the DW Sports Fitness fascias. Retail sitesIn November 2012, the first stand-alone DW Sports retail site opened. Located at the Grand Arcade shopping centre in Wigan, it occupies the former JJB unit.[4] Rumours following JJB demiseIn November 2012, in the wake of JJB Sports's demise. Mike Ashley's Sports Direct was rumoured to have purchased 60 JJB sites for a reported £30 million,[5] leaving the other 120+ stores in the former JJB portfolio. Some reports say DW Sports is not interested in acquiring any further JJB units,[6] whilst others say that they are.[7] FitnessIn 2016, DW Sports Fitness acquired all 62 Fitness First clubs in the UK from Oaktree Capital Management, selling 14 of those and continuing to operate 48 under the Fitness First brand.[8] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.insidermedia.com/insider/north-west/64045-whelans-dw-sports-limbers-further-expansion |title=Insider News North West – Whelan's DW Sports limbers up for further expansion |publisher=Insidermedia.com |accessdate=18 November 2012}} 2. ^{{cite news|last=Thompson |first=James |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/whelan-buys-jjbs-gym-clubs-for-16383m-1654389.html |title=Whelan buys JJB's gym clubs for £83m - Business News - Business |work=The Independent |date=26 March 2009 |accessdate=18 November 2012 |location=London}} 3. ^{{cite web|last=Goldfingle |first=Gemma |url=http://www.retail-week.com/sectors/fashion/sports/dw-sports-joins-buying-group-intersport/5024164.article |title=DW Sports joins buying group Intersport |work=Retail Week |date=1 April 2011 |accessdate=18 November 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.grand-arcade.co.uk/news-item.asp?id=130 |title=DW Sports Opening at Grand Arcade - Wigan Shopping Centre |publisher=Grand-arcade.co.uk |accessdate=18 November 2012 }}{{dead link|date=December 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 5. ^{{cite news|author=Zoe Wood |url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2012/sep/27/sports-direct-deal-buy-jjb-sports-stores |title=Sports Direct thrashes out deal to buy 60 JJB Sports stores | Business |work=The Guardian |date= 27 September 2012|accessdate=18 November 2012 |location=London}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/business/business-news/my-sadness-at-jjb-sports-demise---799517||title=My sadness at JJB Sports demise - Whelan |website=Manchester Evening News|accessdate=9 June 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web|last=Goldfingle |first=Gemma |url=http://www.retail-week.com/a-z/j/jjb-sports/jjb-founder-whelan-signals-interest-in-up-for-sale-retailer/5040207.article |title=JJB founder Whelan signals interest in up-for-sale retailer |work=Retail Week |date=31 August 2012 |accessdate=18 November 2012}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.welltodoglobal.com/dw-sports-scoops-up-fitness-first-uk-for-70m/|title= DW Sports Scoops Up Fitness First UK For £70M |first=Laura|last=Hill|work=Well To Do|date=4 October 2016|accessdate=19 May 2018}} External links
