Efinger Sporting Goods
Description
Your sporting goods destination since 1909! Here is a short history of Efinger Sporting Goods.
In 1909, George A. Efinger opened a combination newsstand, billiard parlor and bowling alley on Main Street in Bound Brook. Located across the street from the train station, this location provided travelers a gathering place while they waited for their departures. As time progressed, George found that many of his patrons would forsake the parlor games for outdoor activities, when hunting and fishing season came about.
In 1927, George's son, young George, became head of the organization. Young George's love of team sports developed into Efinger's becoming all types of sports equipments and uniforms to schools, organizations and colleges. Efinger became the leading team outfitter in New Jersey.
George's younger brother Frank joined the business and was a great motivator in their wholesale division.
During the late 1930's and 40's Efinger became the distribution point for most of the top selling sporting good brands throughout the major tri-state, Pennsylvania-New York-New Jersey market.
In 1974, Efinger's moved into a 54,000 square foot facility on Union Avenue in Bound Brook. By that time Frank's sister Marie Efinger Hoey was already deeply involved in the family business. Her son Jim was corporate vice president and her other son Tom was corporate CEO and headed the team, school and college supply business.
In 1999, Jim Hoey sold his half of Efinger to a long time friend and business associate Murray Greenberg. Murray's expert knowledge in manufacturing and distribution of sporting goods, and Tom Hoey's unsurpassed expertise in the team and institutional business gives Efinger a stronghold on service and satisfaction that is second to none.
In September of 2005, Efinger built a new facility on their existing property in Bound Brook. It was a long year of construction and the results are amazing. The NEW Efinger Sporting Goods is a 50,000 sq. ft. state-of-the art shopping experience. A 1000 gallon shark tank has been introduced as well as new bike and golf departments.
In September of 2010, Murray Greenberg sold his half of Efinger to his son Evan. Evan has been with the company for twelve years and manages the day to day operations of the company. Together with Tom and Murray, Evan hopes to expand the legacy of Efinger sporting Goods for generations to come.
