History

Established in 1972.

Mick McConnell and Rich Urresti are the original owners of McU Sports. Mick and Rich purchased Sib Kleffner’s in August of 1972 at the location currently occupied by Boise Bike. Mick and Rich renamed the business combining their two last names, thus we have McU Sports. The business not only included the Downtown location, but the rental and retail business at Bogus Basin Mountain Resort and a location at Vista Village. The business moved from its original location at 814 W Jefferson to the other end of the block where they are now located. At the time this location was occupied by Henderen Furniture. In 1976 – 77 the interior was remodeled and the store front is as it is now. In 1979, long-​time employee John Klotz bought in as a shareholder of the business. In 1984, Mick McConnell passed away after a long battle with cancer. Today, John and Rich are the full-​time operating owners of the business.
