HUNTINGTON - Two of Huntington's largest and oldest downtown retail businesses are now operating under the same roof.

Glenn's Sporting Goods has moved one block from the corner of 4th Avenue and 11th Street to the east side of the Mack and Dave's building, on the corner of 3rd Avenue and 11th Street.

The move has allowed Glenn's to expand its retail showroom, consolidate its warehousing and other operations into one location, and grow all of its operations, which also includes providing athletic equipment, uniforms and logo apparel for teams, businesses and other organizations, as well as supplying clothing, shoes and other gear for 70 percent of the nation's federal prisons.

The move was made possible by Mack and Dave's compressing some of its operations into a smaller space and allowing Glenn's the convenience of being all in one spot and staying within the city limits, Glenn's President Jim Brumfield said. The retail portion of the stores are connected with an open doorway between the two businesses.

Glenn's has been operating for 45 years and Mack and Dave's for 65 years, making 110 years of retail experience in one building, Brumfield said.

"I think it's a great move, and the customers will benefit from having the two together, with the different things they sell," said Mack and Dave's owner David Cohen. "Both stores have credit accounts and layaways. We're looking forward to the future of both stores."
