National Sporting Goods

National Sporting Goods dates back to 1950 as Daugherty's Sporting Goods at its current location on Allegheny Street. The name changed in 1960—a nod to the building's original use as the National Bank of Jersey Shore (the vault is still there). Current owners took over in 2009 and have kept the focus simple: great selection, great prices, great service.
