In 1935, Al’s opened its doors as a small family-owned business located in downtown Wilmington. Since then, Al’s has passed through multiple generations and has grown into a sporting goods business with something for everyone. A long way from its humble beginning, in September of 2008, Al’s moved into our current location at the corner of 2nd and Market Street in Downtown Wilmington.

While our location has changed, our customer service has always stayed the same. Most of our retail sales associates have been a part of the Al’s team for at least ten years. We carry a wide variety of items including over 700 models of shoes for men, women and kids. Al’s prides itself in carrying the latest in footwear and apparel for the everyday athlete and fashion. Al’s carries one of the largest selections of hometown and national MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL hats and apparel. Al’s retail department carries the latest sports equipment for most sports.
