Longtime Niles sportswear store to close its doors

A longtime Valley sportswear store will soon close its doors forever.

After 29 years in business and the last 20 and its current location, Select Sportswear at 627 N. Main St., Niles is going out of business.

Mary McCarty, who owns the business with her husband Michael, said they were never able to rebound sales from the pandemic and decided it was time to close. The store offered custom screen printing, promotional products, embroidery, and school sportswear.

McCarty said while no final date is locked in at this point, she expects it will be in the next few weeks.

She said they are waiting for some orders that have been placed to be finalized and said that everything in the store is 50 percent off.
