Living in a state with four seasons of sports (or in some cases, just year-round hockey), Minnesotans need places to get their gear. It doesn’t matter if you’re searching for a new hockey stick, some camping gear, or a new pair of running shoes, we’ve got it at Minnesota’s great sporting goods stores. Here are some of our favorites.
Joe’s Sporting Goods, St. Paul, MN
Joe’s Sporting Goods is a St. Paul stalwart. For decades, this family-run business has kept folks on the east side of the Metro outfitted with all they need to ski, snowboard, camp, fish, or paddle. Joe’s model has been so successful that their current space rivals the size of many national chains. As you may guess, then, their selection is pretty robust. And the service is top-notch.
Hanus Sports, Wayzata, MN
In business for over 40 years, Hanus Sports has kept generations of West Metro hockey players in gear and on the ice. They offer a wide selection of sticks, skates, breezers, and all the other equipment a player needs.
