Game, Set, Match:

Thank you for being part of the Princeton Sports family since 1936.
Even though Paul and Alan have decided to retire, we didn’t want to leave without making sure
you’re in good hands. We’re proud to share a new local resource we’re confident you’ll
appreciate.

Peak Bike and Ski Service peakbicycleandski.com

They will also offer a limited number of ski equipment for lease.

Corey Adams has been with us for over 30 years, managing and buying for our bicycle
department. If you’ve ever had your bike serviced at Princeton, chances are Corey
worked on it. He’s one of the very best technicians in the business.

thousands of skis and snowboards. His attention to detail and care helped define the
quality of our winter shop.

We’re truly excited for Corey and Greg as they launch this next chapter—and we’re
confident they’ll carry forward the service and expertise you’ve come to expect.

Princeton Sports is officially out of business. The building that housed a well-known family-owned sporting goods store for more than 50 years has sold to a new local owner.

The Princeton Sports store at 6239 Falls Road in Baltimore was sold to Crosby Enterprises LLC for $4.2 million, according to Odenton-based A.J. Properties, which facilitated the sale. Currently there are no plans.

The 1-acre plot has been owner-occupied since its construction in 1972 by the Davis family, who founded Princeton Sports in 1936. The shop supplied several generations of Baltimore families and athletes with bikes, skis, snowboards and tennis rackets. Brothers Paul and Alan Davis announced in February that they were retiring and closing the store that was founded by their grandparents.

The footprint includes the 15,000-square-foot, multi-level retail building and a 67-space parking lot along Falls Road.

The Davis brothers began selling off their inventory in February rather than marketing the entire store, because no other retailers today offer all three specialty services — tennis equipment, skis and bicycles — that Princeton Sports did.

The inventory liquidation and now the sale of the building bring a close to the Davis family's nearly 90-year run in local retail. In 2018, the family closed their Howard County store at 10370 Little Patuxent Parkway and later sold that building for $3 million to an Owings Mills real estate company.
