Business Focus The Trophy House and Clark Sporting Goods T he Trophy House and Clark Sporting Goods are two businesses that have been a vital part of the community for a combined 100 years of service. In January 2007, they merged to become the premier location for sporting goods and awards, and consolidated their showroom in The Trophy House building on Bragg Boulevard. Lt. Col. John V. Keefe opened The Trophy House in 1969. Cap Clark started Clark Sporting Goods in 1938 after a career in Major League Baseball. Jack Clark carried on the family tradition for many years and remains active to this day. “This was a good merger that made (L-R) Jamie Sykes, Jimmy Keefe, Jack Clark Business Focus sense,” says Jimmy Keefe, owner of The Trophy House. “We were both good companies separately but together, we are a great company.” They specialize in sporting goods, screen-printing and embroidery, team uniforms, high school letter jackets, banners and, of course, trophies, plaques and awards. “It is our goal to take care of the customer before the season starts,” says Jamie Sykes, president of Clark Sporting Goods, “and after the season is over.” The company recently expanded into Hope Mills with a new store on Rockfish Road. The Trophy House and Clark Sporting Goods: two companies, two locations and a single commitment to prompt, quality service at a good price.
