Lonely Planet review for Sports Authority

In a classic rags-to-riches story, Morrie Mages got his start in his family’s store in the old Maxwell St Jewish ghetto, where some of the city’s leading retailers launched their careers by selling clothes in the period between WWI and WWII. Mages built this into the world’s largest sporting-goods store, eventually moving it from Maxwell St into its own renovated eight-story warehouse here. Though Morrie sold the company for a fortune back in 1994, and the store is now owned by national chain Sports Authority, it still continues his discounting philosophy.
