Edwin Watts Golf will open two new stores in Birmingham, AL as the result of a recent acquisition of Gannaway Golf. The new stores will give the company three stores in Birmingham and seven throughout Alabama.

The openings of the two new locations add to the already existing expansion effort undertaken by Edwin Watts Golf in 2004. The acquisition, which was effective July 12th, will give Edwin Watts a total of 57 retail locations and further solidify the company as golf’s most trusted retailer since 1968.

“We are very excited to expand in the Birmingham market with the acquisition of such a fine company as Gannaway Golf,” said Edwin Watts, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Edwin Watts Golf. “We’ve experienced excellent growth so far in 2004, and look forward to opportunities in the future that will help keep Edwin Watts Golf at the forefront of golf retail.”

For Edwin Watts Golf, the acquisition allows the company to take full advantage of a strengthening economy and growing popularity of the sport of golf. The new Edwin Watts Golf stores, located at 1400 Montgomery Highway and 5235 Highway 280 South, will guarantee the same valued service and expertise that has become synonymous with Edwin Watts Golf. The Edwin Watts Golf presence in Birmingham has been strong since their first Birmingham store opened in 1983.
