***'S Sporting Goods was founded in 1948 when an 18 year-old *** Stack was working at an Army surplus store in Binghamton, New York. An avid fisherman, *** was approached by the store owner to come up with a list of products needed to get into the fishing tackle business. After *** presented his suggestions, the owner told him he was a dumb kid and had no idea what he was doing. *** was upset and promptly quit. He went to his grandmother's house where he spent a lot of time as a kid and told her what had happened. ***'s grandmother asked how much it would cost to build the store himself. *** said it would cost $300. His grandmother then went to the cookie jar where she kept her life savings and gave him $300 and told him “do it yourself.” *** used that money and his relentless work-ethic to open a bait-and-tackle shop in Binghamton. By 1958, he expanded his product line to include much of what you'll find at ***'S Sporting Goods today. Ed Stack, ***'s son, is the current CEO and Chairman of ***'S Sporting Goods. He and his siblings bought the store from their father and are responsible for taking two stores and growing the chain to over 500 stores. ***'s family continues to offer the finest quality products at competitive prices, backed by the best service anywhere.
