About the Owners
Stuart and Marianne Smith have been committed to the Midcoast community for over fifty years. They started Maine Sport Outfitters in a tiny garage and grew it into a legacy that now spans multiple stores and businesses. The Smiths thrive in giving back to the community and creating memorable experiences by helping develop numerous community sports programs and a regional school.
Maine Sport is proud to celebrate fifty years with Stuart and Marianne by our side!
