Nation’s Best Sports is a sporting goods buying group that supports independent retailers across North America. Formed in 1956 and based in Fort Worth, Texas, the organization connects more than 450 member dealers, representing over 1,000 storefronts in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. It seeks to help these retailers compete in a changing market by leveraging collective purchasing, marketing, and service options. Member shops specialize in categories such as apparel and footwear, archery, athletics, camping, fishing, hunting, optics, shooting sports, water and paddle sports, and winter sports. As a buying group within the sporting goods sector, NBS focuses on enabling independent dealers to access scale and support that would be harder to secure alone. A recent development noted in May 2026 involves a collaboration with the Malawi Defence Force through NBS Bank, which included a ten-year memorandum of understanding to support veterans via the MDF Veterans Thanksgiving Golf Tournament.
