The stores originally closed at 9 p.m. but reopened after the Astros' Game 4 win against the Yankees.
"The fact that we swept it in the Yankee's own house, it's like, you can't ask for a better feeling, especially being from Houston and after all the stuff that's been talked about us. It was the icing on top of the cake," one fan shopping at Academy said.
According to a press release, multiple boxes of Astros World Series-bound gear arrived at all locations in preparation for a win on Sunday evening.
In addition to the stores opening, all the apparel will be available on the Academy website.
The Astros beat the New York Yankees for a clean sweep and their fourth trip to the World Series in six seasons.
