The Outdoor Shop

“We’ve really become big in screen printing and embroidery,” said Outdoor Shop owner Debra Myers who has run the athletic store located at Northgate Plaza for around four years. “We really get swamped this time of year. We do the uniforms for the city leagues, that’s about 500, and then for Morrison and Fairview. It’s safe to say this is our busiest time.”
Myers said the printing and embroidery are done on premises. The amount of time it takes depends on the complexity of the order, the number of uniforms needed and, this time of year, the numbers awaiting processing.
Along with the uniform making which has become a major part of the business, Myers said a lot of business is also in the supplying of ball players.
The Outdoor Shop has several lines of baseball and softball equipment including bats, gloves, balls, athletic carrying bags, helmets and training equipment. The baseball/softball items, Myers noted, are a big draw to customers, especially at the beginning of the various ball seasons. Items for current out of season sports like football and basketball are also available year-round.
In addition to sports items and uniforms, the store also offers a wide array of products for all types of outdoor activities and indoor pastimes.
“We have all kinds of supplies for fishing and hunting, plus, we also carry things for indoor fun like darts and pool sticks,” Myers said. “We try to offer our customers a wide range of sporting items to chose from.”
The Outdoor Shop is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays.
