“Inventory is kind of flowing in. We’re preparing for it. We know we’re gonna have an increase in foot traffic and so wanna just make sure we have everything to take care of it and take care of our customers,” said Travis Milligan with Academy Sports & Outdoors. The sales tax holiday covers learning aids up to $30, school supplies up to $50, clothing and shoes up to $100, and computers up to $1,500.“It is a big relief.
