This episode of Last Borough Standing takes place live inside of Franks Sporting Goods in the Bronx, New York. The store was founded in 1922 by Frank Stein. The store is over 103 years old! Over the decades, it has grown into the most iconic and unique sporting goods store in New York City. The store sells athletic apparel, sporting equipment, accessories for city employees, fitness equipment, team sports gear & more. I was able to chat with Ron live inside of his office. We discussed:
