ABOUT US

Frank Adamczyk grew up fishing and hunting around Perham, and he always believed the town could support its own outdoor store.  After returning from the war, he put that theory to the test.  Frank's "sport shop" opened in 1950 in downtown Perham.  Frank was a local pioneer of using radio to promote the area, and he quickly gained a following for his quality products and helpful advice.  Tragically, Frank passed away in 1972.  That's when his younger brother (Gene) stepped up to help, and the locals have been calling it Gene's Sport Shop ever since. 
 
Gene's son, Tom, bought the store in '86 and gradually expanded the footprint. Today the store is owned and operated by Tom's sons, Nick and Ed.  Aside from the inventory, not much has changed.  We're still in the original location, still using the same concept Frank and Gene developed long ago: quality products and helpful advice.  Some things don't need to change.
