Moe Stein, president and the iconic face of Frank’s Sport Shop in Bronx, NY, passed away at the age of 93.
Stein received his undergraduate degree from Long Island University in 1950 and served as a U.S. Army corporal during the Korean War. Together with his father Frank Stein, who established the business in 1921, Moe Stein built Frank’s Sport Shop on East Tremont Avenue into the Bronx’ leading sporting goods store and a New York City landmark.
Frank’s Sport Shop said in a statement, “Moe inherited the business from his father Frank, and continued to work there with his children until he was 93 years old. He was the character and face of the business. If you know Frank’s, you know Moe. We will miss him greatly.”
