Sports Equipment Repairs

Retail / Wholesale / Repair sporting goods

This business was started in about 1982 when my 3 sons wanted graphite racquets and I did not have the money to buy them. I managed to get some broken graphite racquets from a coach and using some of my GRP skills (making propellers for model aircraft) I repaired them. I was then given a racquet by a fellow player who had broken his racquet, repaired it and played with it the following week. He was somewhat taken aback but I resold it to him for $20 and that's how this business started.

We currently deal with most squash centres in The Sydney metropolitan area and many in country areas. We also service many tennis centres throughout Australia with repairs and the supply of grommet and spare parts for all types of racquets. This includes tennis, squash, badminton and racquetball.

The business is well known in the industry and deals with a large number of sporting goods suppliers, coaches and retail customers. We supply racquets on a retail level and sometimes at a wholesale level.  We do the same with string sales and grommet sales. We are the largest retailer, wholesaler of grommets for racquets in Australia. We stock grommets for Head, Wilson, Yonex, Babolat, Slazenger, Dunlop, Prince, Pro Kennex, Karakal , Grays,  and Tecnifibre. We sell all accessories for these racquets and sports. This includes shoes, bags, grips and almost any accessory you can think of.

We have about 1200 customers on our books where we use the latest MYOB program. We repair approximately 100 racquets each month and string about 50 racquets monthly. We also have a relationship with the local tennis association and service the tennis courts when requested and repair and replace nets when required.

We have three web pages which advertise the business and offer grommets and other equipment for sale. These pages are currently being populated and Google is supporting these web pages.

We are keen to sell and believe the business would be ideal for someone looking for a full time position where there are great rewards and opportunities for growth. If you like working with a friendly client base in an industry with limited competition, then this is an ideal opportunity.
