BSN Sports Acquires Port Jeff Sporting Goods

DALLAS-BSN Sports acquires Port Jeff Sporting Goods, a sporting goods equipment and apparel provider in New York. The Long Island-based company has roots in the industry dating back to 1971.

“We are thrilled to welcome [company founder] Richie LoNigro and the Port Jeff Sporting goods staff to the BSN SPORTS family,” says Terry Babilla, president of BSN SPORTS. “We have known Port Jeff for years and can attest firsthand to their ‘customer-first’ culture backed by a talented group of team sports professionals.”

“Over the past 47 years our staff has built a great level of customer service and relationships that are the cornerstone of our success,” adds LoNigro. “I am confident that with all that the BSN team offers with regard to great customer service, large inventories, great product lines, and innovation tools, this will be a definite ‘win-win’ for our customers.”

The acquisition adds to BSN’s growing network of partners along the Eastern Seaboard as well as the West Coast. Earlier this year, the BSN announced it had acquired Sugarland, Texas-based Gulf Coast Athletic Supply (GCAS), expanding the company’s reach in its home state.
