Action Sports plans to close its store in Brandford, CT, at the end of April. The retailer’s second location in Old Saybrook will remain open.
In a letter on the retailer’s website and posted on social media, owner Paul Von Maffei wrote, “It is bittersweet that we announce our closing and departure from the local Branford community at this time. Still, I want to take this opportunity to thank our loyal customers who, for more than five decades, have supported our Sporting Goods Business.
“You have helped to build our business to a prominent and successful status in the retail sports market and our community. None of this could have been possible without you; I speak for myself, the longtime partners in the store, and countless others who have been a part of our employee community over the years.
“It is now time for a change. The current local owners of our property have exciting new plans for this location, and Action Sports will be reducing our retail operations to the Old Saybrook location as of April 30, 2023.”
Action Sports stores sell a wide range of products for the outdoor enthusiast, including skis and snowboards, bicycles, winter apparel, kayaks, and stand-up paddle boards.
