Modell’s Sporting Goods

Feel free to take your time shopping in this Modell’s. Clean and well-organized, the store isn’t as hectic as other locations in the city. However, if you’re looking for something specific, call ahead since the store isn’t as big. Once you’ve done all you’re back-to-school shopping, come back after the first snowfall — Modell’s will have sleds.
