Dick's Sporting Goods Hires Lobbyist For Gun Control
- Bloomberg, Friday, May 4, 2018 7:40 AM
Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc. is taking a step further to advocate for gun control, part of a rapid transition for the retailer that’s also a major vendor of firearms in the U.S. The company has retained Glover Park Group to lobby Congress on the matter, according to a disclosure form filed in late April. The move is unusual for a firm in the retail sector, where few brands tackle such a politically charged issue for fear it will turn off customers.
