MONTVALE, N.J. - April 8, 2013 - PRLog -- Michael's Sporting Goods is a retail sporting goods store providing equipment and apparel to individuals, town recreation programs, leagues and schools. According to mybergen.com, this Oakland, New Jersey business has also become a landmark for athletes, coaches and sports fans from throughout northern New Jersey.

For more than 20 years, Michael's has been the go-to place for a loyal and growing number of North Jersey sports enthusiasts, from the youngster just learning how to kick a mini soccer ball to the life-long Yankees fan wanting tickets to the MLB playoffs, and everyone in between. After 21 years at the Urban Farms Shopping Center in Franklin Lakes, the store has been at their current location at 8 Elm Street in Oakland since August of 2012.

While Michael's is probably best known for boys’ and girls’ lacrosse equipment, they also do a brisk business with baseball, softball, soccer, football, hockey and other sports equipment.

The personalized customer service provided by owner Tom Groh and his experienced team has helped this business cultivate a steady stream of regular customers which includes generations of families from northwest Bergen County and beyond.

Unlike the "big box" stores, the goal at Michael's is to provide special attention to everyone, from the individual customer to the large corporation. If you need advice on the right type of cleats for your child or need design advice on uniforms, they have the experience and willingness to assist you.

In addition to their retail lines, Michael's has the capability to create custom embroidery and silk screening for uniforms, corporate logo apparel (hats, t-shirts), and other events (golf outings, family reunions, etc). Michael's provides customized apparel for businesses and corporations, schools, fundraisers, and special occasions. They also make uniforms for teams and leagues for all different sports from throughout northern New Jersey.

Michael's is partnered with World Ticket Broker and can provide tickets for sporting events, concerts, Broadway and Off-Broadway shows, comedy shows and virtually any event.

Michael's Sporting Goods has recently implemented a service on their website called the Team Store, where they can take online orders. This service works well for fundraising for travel sports programs, school PTOs and other similar organizations. The Team Store can take the headache out of fundraising, because Michael's team handles everything from taking orders online, taking payments, and sorting final orders for handing out. Once the sale is over, all the fundraising organization needs to do is collect a check.

Michael's Sporting Goods is located at 8 Elm Street in Oakland, New Jersey, just off of Ramapo Valley Road in the center of town. The store is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, Thursday from 10:00 am to 7:30 pm and Saturday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
