Check out FullScope Sports, your local go-to specialty sporting goods store

Their love for sports and fitness prompted Bobby Young and his wife, Heather, to open a boutique-style running specialty and sporting goods store in Smyrna.

Bobby and Heather grew up playing competitive baseball and soccer, respectively. Bobby played baseball through high school and has continued his love for the diamond sport by coaching youth teams through Smyrna Little League. Heather switched from soccer to middle distance running and triathlons in her early twenties and continues to compete in both. Her training for these competitions occur when she isn’t working as a Real Estate Agent for Petersen Partners at Berkshire Hathaway or tag teaming with Bobby to get their daughter, Kailey, a second grader at St. Benedict’s School, from one activity to another.

The Youngs opened the doors to FullScope Sports (FSS), located at 1270 Concord Road SE, (across the street from Love Street Gifts and down from McEntyre’s Bakery) on March 7, 2020 and have been enjoying helping customers with their running, sports and fitness needs. Q&AI sat down with Bobby to ask him a few questions about FullScope Sports.

Why did you start a running and sporting goods store? As a coach, player, and fan of community sports, I felt it was time to bring a boutique-style sporting goods and running store to the people in the area. Specifically, I realized that avid walkers and runners in the community had to travel inside the perimeter to purchase footwear and apparel. I wanted a place where people, players, teams, and athletes could shop with specialized knowledgeable sales associates who have the experience and the customers’ best interest in mind when fitting and demonstrating products.

What is the mission of FullScope Sports? “Fitness and Sports is Our Business” Our mission is to bring good quality and affordable sports apparel, footwear, and products to Smyrna, Vinings, West Cobb and the surrounding communities.

What did you do before starting FullScope Sports? Before starting FullScope Sports, I spent 25 years in corporate America working with Fortune 500 companies such as Johnson & Johnson, HP, Sprint; with the last 10 years at Garmin (The GPS Company) managing running, sporting goods and golf stores in the Southeastern US.

When you aren’t at the store, what are you involved in?

Where do I start? For over 13 years, I have been coaching with Smyrna Little League (SLL) Baseball. I was also a SLL Board Member for 6 years. Additionally, I am an assistant coach for an 8U Rhyne Park softball team. I am a member of the Cobb Chamber and 2020/2021 CEO Roundtable, Member of the Smyrna Small Business Association and a member of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneurs Access Network OnDemand program.

What does the future look like for FullScope Sports? FullScope Sports strives to be THE ‘go-to’ retail store for sporting goods and specialty running in Smyrna, Vinings and West Cobb. Our hopes are to establish a local presence that provides quality, functional products that customers can be confident in purchasing. We plan to provide the name brands the community needs online and in our retail store.
