Just like the big box sports stores, this shop carries products licensed by the professional leagues (NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB), but what you'll find here and not in the chains is support for local teams, starting with caps and uniforms. Paraphernalia and equipment for just about any popular, local support is on display. And hockey buffs can keep their blades sharp and in good repair, as well.
Aron Greenfield has owned Brenner's Children Shop for more than three decades, and likes to advise people that his name is spelled with only one "a" because his family was too poor to afford two. The store manages to survive in the face of big-box competition by providing items that can't be found in chain stores, including scouting uniforms, christening and baptismal outfits, and high-end clothes, such as socks and tights from Trim Fit.
