The owner of a new sports store in Charlottetown hopes he can fill a niche for indoor sport players in the province.
Shaopeng “Larry” Liang opened Goldmaple Sport Star in Charlottetown selling Victor brand rackets, apparel, footwear and accessories.
Victor is a popular international badminton brand that has been around for 50 years and sponsors Korean and Malaysian National Badminton Teams.
Liang is an avid badminton player and is the assistant coach with the P.E.I. Badminton Association for the junior club division.
When he moved to Prince Edward Island from China five months ago, he had a hard time finding his favourite brand that specializes in badminton gear.
Liang said he shopped at several different local retailers but couldn’t find it anywhere so he decided to open his own shop.
Although the brand specializes in badminton gear, Liang said it is appropriate for any indoor sport including squash, dodge ball and hockey.
The Victor brand shoes are lightweight with non-marking and non-sliding soles.
“This shoe is very suitable for indoor sport. They are very light, very comfortable.”
Liang carries men, women and children gear and sizes in his shop.
“I want to service people who love sports,” said Liang.
Liang is also selling Bleacher Creatures Plush Toys and has a variety of stars with the MLB, NBA and NHL.
