Efinger Sporting Goods, your sporting goods destination since
1909.
| History
of Efingers:
In 1909, George
A. Efinger opened a combination newsstand, billiard
parlor and bowling alley on Main Street in Bound
Brook. Located across the street from the train
station, this location provided travelers a gathering
place while they waited for their departures. As
time progressed, George found that many of his patrons
would forsake the parlor games for outdoor activities,
when hunting and fishing season came about.
In 1927, George's son, young George,
became head of the organization. Young George's
love of team sports developed into Efinger's becoming
all types of sports equipments and uniforms to schools,
organizations and colleges. Efinger became the leading
team outfitter in New Jersey.
George's younger
brother Frank joined the business and was a great
motivator in their wholesale division.
During the late
1930's and 40's Efinger became the distribution
point for most of the top selling sporting good
brands throughout the major tri-state, Pennsylvania-New
York-New Jersey market.
In 1974, Efinger's moved into a 54,000 square
foot facility on Union Avenue in Bound Brook. By
that time Frank's sister Marie Efinger Hoey was
already deeply involved in the family business.
Her son Jim was corporate president and her other
son Tom was corporate CEO and headed the team, school
and college supply business.
In 1999, Jim Hoey sold his half of Efinger
to a long time friend and business associate Murray
Greenberg. Murray's expert knowledge in manufacturing
and distribution of sporting goods, and Tom Hoey's
unsurpassed expertise in the team and institutional
business gives Efinger a stronghold on service and
satisfaction that is second to none.
In September of 2005, Efinger built a new
facility on their existing property in Bound Brook.
It was a long year of construction and the results
are amazing. The NEW Efinger Sporting Goods is a
50,000 sq. ft. state-of-the art shopping experience.
A 1000 gallon shark tank has been introduced as
well as new bike and golf departments.
Efinger Sporting Goods looks forward to our 2nd
century of serving NJ’s sports enthusiasts.
We will strive
to continue to be New Jersey's Oldest and Largest
Sporting Goods Store for at least another century.
We will dedicate ourselves to the principles upon
which this business was founded. Service: Competitive
Pricing and Personal Contact. |
