“Gotta go to Mo’s!” (Modell’s Sporting Goods)

Modell's, founded in 1889 by Morris A. Modell, had its first store located on Cortlandt Street in lower Manhattan. Four generations of the Modell family have developed the family business into a chain of stores located in all five boroughs of New York City, Long Island, Westchester, Rockland, Northern and Central New Jersey, Philadelphia, Connecticut and Washington DC markets.

Henry Modell, 91; Headed Sporting-Goods Chain
By WALTER H. WAGGONER

Henry Modell, chairman of Henry Modell & Company, a sporting goods retail chain, died Tuesday at the Hollywood (Fla.) Memorial Hospital. He was 91 years old and lived in Hollywood.

Mr. Modell was semiretired in recent years, but remained board chairman of the company, a part he had held since 1937. For 17 years before, he was president of the company, which was founded by his father.

In Mr. Modell's lifetime, the company grew from one clothing store, then at West and Cortlandt Streets in Manhattan, to 19 stores in the New York metropolitan area specializing in sporting goods and leisure and sportswear.
