History of Efinger:
In 1909,
George A. Efinger opened a combination newsstand, billiard parlor
and bowling alley on Main Street in Bound Brook. Located across
the street from the train station, this location provided travelers
a gathering place while they waited for their departures. As time
progressed, George found that many of his patrons would forsake
the parlor games for outdoor activities, when hunting and fishing
season came about.
In 1927, George's son,
young George, became head of the organization. Young George's love
of team sports developed into Efinger's becoming all types of sports
equipments and uniforms to schools, organizations and colleges.
Efinger became the leading team outfitter in New Jersey. Top
George's younger brother Frank
joined the business and was a great motivator in their wholesale
division. During the late 1930's and 40's
Efinger became the distribution point for most of the top selling
sporting goods brands throughout the major tri-state, Pennsylvania-New
York-New Jersey market.
In 1974,
Efinger's moved into its current 54,000 square foot facility on
Union Avenue in Bound Brook. By that time Frank's sister Marie Efinger
Hoey was already deeply involved in the family business. Her son
Jim was corporate president and her other son Tom was corporate
CEO and headed the team, school and college supply business.
In 1999, Jim Hoey sold
his half of Efinger to a long time friend and business associate
Murray Greenberg. Murray's expert knowledge in manufacturing and
distribution of sporting goods, and Tom Hoey's unsurpassed expertise
in the team and institutional business gives, Efinger a stronghold
on service and satisfaction that is second to none.
We will strive
to continue to be New Jersey's Oldest and Largest Sporting Goods
Store for at least another century. We will dedicate ourselves to
the principles upon which this business was founded. Service: Competitive
Pricing and Personal Contact.
