Pure Hockey, the largest hockey retailer in the U.S., now has over 65 locations, with this being the first in Las Vegas.

HOLLISTON, MA, USA, October 21, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Pure Hockey, the largest hockey retailer in the U.S., announced today that it has agreed to acquire The Penalty Box, a full-service hockey retailer located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Through the acquisition, Pure Hockey expands its retail presence to Nevada, one of the fastest-growing hockey markets in the United States. Pure Hockey now operates over 65 retail locations across the United States. This is Pure Hockey’s sixth store opening of 2022, following the expansion in Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

“The acquisition of The Penalty Box provides us with the opportunity to bring our established brand and economies of scale to a hockey market that is experiencing exponential growth," said David Nectow, CEO, Pure Hockey. “With unmatched customer experience and product selection, we look forward to growing with the hockey community in Nevada. We’re very lucky to have been able to find a strong retailer in Nicholas Gerasimatos and his team at Penalty Box."

The Penalty Box was founded in 2021 by Nicholas Gerasimatos and quickly became the premier hockey retailer in Southern, Nevada. The Penalty Box has quickly built a loyal customer base and filled a need for a hockey retailer servicing Southern Nevada.

"We are very excited to find an acquisition partner in Pure Hockey. As the industry leader, Pure Hockey provides an exceptional retail experience that our customers have come to expect from The Penalty Box,” said Nicholas Gerasimatos, Owner, The Penalty Box. “Pure Hockey is able to provide the best products and service to the Las Vegas hockey community.”

Pure Hockey Las Vegas will have a grand opening event in the coming months. The retail location will remain at the Penalty Box address of 5031 Wagon Trail Ave #106, Las Vegas, NV 89118.
