ST. LOUIS — There's a big chance that if you played sports in or near St. Louis you stopped at Johnny Mac's Sporting Goods store.
And while the local teams may have changed, for 51 years, the store remained the same.
"This used to be an old Danny Donut shop that we converted into the first sporting goods store, Johnny Mac's, and that's where we started 51 years ago," said Bob McArthur, one of Johnny Mac's five sons, and the owner of his St. Louis staple, Johnny Mac's sporting goods.
"We have a lot of good things to have memories about for all the people and the customers and all the years they supported us." ...
It's the end of an era, that Bob believes is like the end of the game.
Even if you win or lose, there's always next season.
"We know just like with fashion, wait long enough and it will come back around and I do believe that with these type of stores they'll realize just how much they miss it."
We're told the store will close when all of the items are gone. They think that will be in about 90 days.
