Modell's (full name "Modell's Sporting Goods") is a sporting goods retailer with various locations in the Northeast United States. Modell's offers a large collection of products from top name brands in the sporting goods and apparel business. The chain was started by Morris A. Modell in 1889 in New York City, making it the second oldest sporting goods store in North America (before Milwaukee's Burghardt Sporting Goods [1]). Through the years it has remained a family owned business passing through four generations of the Modell family. While best known for being a sporting goods retailer, Modell's also operated a chain of "full-line" discount retailers in the New York-metro area known as "Modell's Shopper's World" (and for a short time as "White-Modells" until the name was reverted back to "Modell's Shoppers World) from the early 1960's up until 1989 when the company decided to focus on its sporting goods operations partly due to increased competition in the discount retailer market.
