City Sports wants to involve you in your endeavor to be fit, be comfortable, and be more knowledgeable. That's why a salesperson in our store may ask you a ton of questions. We want to know about you and what you need, then find the right product to match.
Service is having the right product at the right price, and understanding the customer well enough to make a good fit. At City Sports we're working hard at it.
We are not a bunch of suits trying to push sporting goods. All the decision makers in this company remain personally committed to athletic lifestyles. You never know when a game of roller hockey will break out in the office parking lot. The front office is small, close-knit, open and relaxed. We hope that you'll feel the same when you're in one of our locations.
COMPANY HISTORY
City Sports was founded in 1983 by a couple of local joes who lived in the Fens neighborhood in Boston and didn't have anyplace to buy sporting goods. The basic concept was right - the neighborhood needed sporting goods - but neither guy had a clue how to run a retail company, or what exactly the store should carry, or what the store should look like, or any of those kinds of details.
By 1987 the joes thought they'd made some progress - having developed a product mix and a store look and a customer service approach that seemed appropriate for the customers they were getting - city-dwellers who lived an athletic lifestyle. At that point they opened a second store, and then another, growing at a rate of about a store a year to put City Sports where it is today
