GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Celebrate the story of MC Sports, a family business that grew from a Grand Rapids clothing store into a familiar Midwestern sporting goods chain. Founded in 1946 as Michigan Clothiers, it began by selling men's clothing and military surplus before moving into sports equipment, footwear and apparel. Acquisitions in 1987 and 1988 helped expand its reach, while Miracle May connected featured sales with support for children's hospitals. The chain closed in 2017, leaving a distinctive chapter of regional retail history to remember.
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.
