The organisation had 77 shops by August 2004,[5] and opened their 100th store two years later in 2006.[6]

In February 2011, BoyleSports took over 17 new shops from Celtic Bookmakers, saving 100 jobs. Later that year BoyleSports saved 65 more jobs with a strategic takeover of 15 William Hill shops.[7]

In July 2017, Conor Gray succeeded founder John Boyle as BoyleSports CEO who assumed the role of Executive Chairman.[8]

In September 2018, BoyleSports celebrated the opening of their 250th shop in Kilcullen, Co. Kildare and announced plans to further expand its retail and online business.[9]
