Founded in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1946, the chain operates over seventy stores in the Midwestern United States.〔http://www.centralillinoisproud.com/story/mc-sports-opening-in-east-peoria/d/story/DVqA58dxE0OnvAC5UCeltQ〕 ==History== MC Sports began in 1946 as Michigan Clothiers in Grand Rapids, Michigan. At this time, men's clothing had shared the shelving spaces with military surplus items. MC Sports switched its focus from clothing to sports equipment, footwear and apparel. In 1987, MC Sports accelerated its expansion through the acquisition of Morrie Mages’ Sports, a three-store chain located in the Chicago area. A year later, Browns Sporting Goods was acquired adding 19 stores to its portfolio.〔http://www.mcsports.com/about-us〕 MC Sports currently has over 75 locations in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Iowa. 〔http://www.mcsports.com/about-us〕 While some locations have closed due to the influx of big-box stores and larger chains such as Sports Authority, MC Sports still retains 74 stores in seven states across the Midwest. The company is ranked as the 75th-largest retailer of sporting goods in the United States.〔http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20131003/BUSINESS/310030061/Dick-s-Sporting-Goods-poised-to-open-near-Jordan-Creek?Frontpage〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MC Sports」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
