 Founded
in 1946, MC Sports began as a single store operation in Grand
Rapids, Michigan. The original name, Michigan Clothiers, reflected
the wide range of products offered by the first store. From men’s
clothing to military surplus, the original store was a favorite
shopping destination for local residents. Refining its business
strategy in 1962, the company changed its name to MC Sporting
Goods and focused entirely on quality sports equipment, footwear
and apparel.
Since that time, MC Sports has taken its
retail concept to markets throughout the Midwest. In 1987,
MC Sports accelerated its expansion through the acquisition
of Morrie Mages’ Sports, a three-store
chain located in the Chicago area. A year later, Browns Sporting
Goods was acquired adding 19 stores to its portfolio.
By the end of 2008, MC Sports will operate 83 stores
in seven states throughout the Midwest. Future growth is continually
being mapped out with a strong emphasis on tier 2 and tier 3
markets where the demand for performance-oriented sports gear
is high.
What sets MC Sports apart from other retailers
is its commitment to quality sports gear and its support of
the communities where it does business. Through grassroots
initiatives, every MC Sports store gives back to its community
through team sponsorships, fundraising programs, team and
group discounts, and a long-standing commitment to the Children’s
Miracle Network.
As one of the few remaining privately held sporting
goods chains, MC Sports is truly a unique retailer. Built on
a foundation of outstanding customer service, you can be sure
that MC Sports will continue to offer quality, top-name sports
gear at competitive prices.
