About Us

Philosophy/History of Stow Sports Center

Stow Sports was founded on March 21st, 1987 on the belief a quality, service-centered retail sporting goods store would be supported by the local community. Through several years of committment, the retail operation had become a foothold and allowed us to search for future growth.

With the retail market growing, we began to pursue the Corporate and Team markets. Using the same success formula as in the retail division, we carved a niche specializing in apparel and footwear. The same high-quality standards established success in these "specialty" markets, as well.

With the winds of change in the retail division, a greater emphasis has been placed on the "specialty" markets and future growth must be achieved. Our forecast is that over 50% of our gross sales will come from these "specialty"markets. Stow Sports is very optimistic with a plan in place to continue to grow despite a very demanding industry.

Entering our 24th year of business, I am proud to say that the original idea for a quality, service-centered operation has never changed. Quality and service continues to drive this organization through the 21st century as an industy leader and it is an exciting journey.
