Johnny Mac's Sporting Goods

Since its inception in 1967, Johnny Mac's Sporting Goods has become one of the largest independent, family-owned team sports dealers operating within the Midwest. There are currenty five locations within the St. Louis Metro Area, as well as divisions in Springfield (MO), Lansing (MI) & Detroit (MI). Johnny Mac's remains focused solely on team sports - baseball, basketball, football, hockey, lacrosse, soccer, swimming, track, volleyball, wrestling, etc. - and supplies athletes with equipment, accessories, apparel, awards and support services. John A. McArthur (aka Johnny Mac) established the very first Johnny Mac's Sporting Goods store with his wife Eleanor on historic Route 66 to serve local athletes participating in team sports. McArthur appreciated the opportunities team sports provided him as a youth and valued the life lessons he received as a result of his involvement. As a respected sports official & umpire, McArthur maintained strong ties to the local community and made it his mission to provide athletes with the equipment and support services required to succeed.
