9. Coming December 2008 Twiggs County Distribution Center SouthEast of Macon, Georgia

16. "Academy Sports & Outdoors Introduces Upcoming East Coast Distribution Center"

17. As Academy continues to grow an additional distribution center has become a necessity. Orders to the new DC may be written as early as March of 2008, so please prepare your systems accordingly. Changes to EDI? There aren’t any mapping changes at all to the EDI transmissions. What we do need is for your system to read the N1*ST segment of each 850 PO accurately and make sure that the PO is sent to the correct location. Each DC is assigned a “store” number and that specific number would be present in the N1*ST segment. Dedicated Store to DC relationship? Yes…I’m including the current store listing and the DC assignments. This would be for use in updating files in your system, if needed, but the PO’s would still ship to the “store” present in the N1*ST segment. There are really three locations involved here. Two of the locations should already be setup in your system. All three DC’s and their addresses are presented below. Store 004Store 704Store 905 Academy DCAcademy, Ltd.Dallas Market DC 1800 N.

18. Requested Resale Certificate (Tax Exemption) for TCDC (Store 704) Who is eligible for the “Resale Certificate”?  Trade vendors (vendors we purchase items from for resale in stores) who shouldn't be charging Academy tax on our purchases because we charge tax on the items sold to the customer. Who is not eligible for the “Resale Certificate”?  Expense vendors: Items Academy purchase to consume & are taxable to Academy. For questions related to the “Resale Certificate” please contact: Katrina Blume Sr. Tax Analyst 281.646.5872 katrina.blume@academy.com The certificate that retailers use is to let vendors know that we are intending to resell purchased items and ultimately collect the tax from the customer. Resale certificates are provided to vendors that indicate we are purchasing items for resale and that they should not be charging us tax on our purchase.
