| Who is Maurice
Sporting Goods |
| Maurice Sporting Goods was established
in 1923 by our founder, Maurice Olshansky,
as a sporting goods outlet in downtown
Chicago. The business grew and prospered
after Mr. Olshansky's children grew
up and joined the business. By 1958,
we had started to supply local discount
stores with sporting goods. Our first
expansion was to Atlanta in 1973, followed
by Dallas in 1976, Harrisburg in 1988,
Reno in 1991, and Toronto in 1994. We
were the first distributors in the country
to computerize. We were also the first
to make extensive use of planograms,
to pre-ticket, and to provide regional
satellite warehouses.
Maurice Sporting Goods today is an
established distributor of fishing
tackle, shooting sports accessories,
and other outdoor sporting and athletic
goods to the strongest mass merchandisers
in the retail industry. We are the
largest distributor in the country,
and now can offer our customers true
nationwide service through our network
of six warehouses. |
