Rogers Sporting Goods Annual Waterfowl Weekend Sale
The History of Rogers Sporting Goods
Rogers Sporting Goods first opened its doors in 1928 in the small town of Rogersville, Missouri. Founder Harold Rogers was an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting and fishing. After working at the local hardware store for years, Harold decided to open his own shop focused on providing quality sporting goods and exceptional customer service. The first Rogers store was small but carried all the essentials that local outdoorsmen needed. Harold's selection of fishing lures and poles was second to none. He also made sure to stock ammunition, traps, and other tools for hunting popular game like deer, duck, rabbit, and squirrel. Rogers Sporting Goods quickly became the place to go in Rogersville for anyone needing gear for their latest outdoor adventure.
Expanding the Business
Over the next few decades, Rogers Sporting Goods expanded to serve even more customers. In the 1950s, Harold opened a second Rogers store in a nearby town. He also began offering mail order catalogs, which allowed out-of-town hunters and anglers to shop the Rogers selection. The 1960s brought further growth, with Rogers stores popping up throughout Missouri. Harold Rogers passed the family business down to his son John Rogers in 1970. John brought innovation to Rogers Sporting Goods, adding new products like compound bows, motorized trolling motors, and graphite fishing rods.
Under John's leadership, Rogers became one of the largest sporting goods retailers in the Midwest. He successfully balanced growth with staying true to the company's roots. Each new Rogers store maintained Harold Rogers' original commitment to knowledgeable service and high-quality gear.
