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.
