Eastside Sports opens at Four Corners in Penfield

A new hometown sports apparel store, Eastside Sports, opens doors at Four Corners this week.

Owner Mary Kay Cummings first got the idea to open Eastside Sports when she was looking for shirts for her children who play Penfield youth sports.

As she started shopping, she noticed that it was difficult to find a nearby retailer that sold the Penfield apparel she was looking for.

“There’s nowhere to walk in and get it unless you go online, and I’m not an online shopper,” said Cummings, 41.

So about six months ago, she brought her request before the town when she learned the space at Four Corners, which used to house  Divine Hair, would soon become available.

The Town Board gave the shop the green light last month, and Cummings will open her store on Tuesday, May 8.

The 41-year-old continues to own and operate a hair salon in Fairport, Studio 36, which she’s run for the last 10 years.
