Remember MC Sports with a pint glass inspired by the story of a Grand Rapids family business that grew into a familiar sporting goods chain. Founded in 1946 as Michigan Clothiers, the company evolved from men's clothing and military surplus into sports equipment, footwear and apparel. Its expansion across the Midwest and its 2017 closure make this piece a thoughtful keepsake for regional retail history collectors, former shoppers and anyone who remembers the name.
MC Sports began in 1946 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, as Michigan Clothiers, founded by Jack and Genevieve Finkelstein. The store initially sold men's clothing alongside military surplus items. Their sons Ed, Raleigh and Mort later ran the business as it shifted its focus from clothing to sports equipment, footwear and apparel. The chain expanded in 1987 by acquiring Morrie Mages' Sports, a three-store business in the Chicago area. In 1988, it acquired Browns Sporting Goods, adding 19 stores. MC Sports eventually operated more than 75 locations across Michigan, Ohio, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri and Iowa. It also promoted Miracle May each May, directing portions of featured-item sales and other proceeds to the Children's Miracle Network. The company announced a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in February 2017; the case was converted to Chapter 7 liquidation. After approval of the liquidation plan on February 16, going-out-of-business sales began at the 68 remaining stores. All locations closed by June 2017. At closure, MC Sports ranked as the 75th-largest sporting goods retailer in the United States.

A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
