I actually worked there in high school. Dream job, got to skate around all day, it was great.

The Oshman's family is from Houston, Marylin Oshman was CEO through the 90's and when they sold out to Gart Sports I believe. So now its Gart out west and Sports Authority here and the midwest. I feel like Oshman's used to be a little higher end for skates and skis and bikes, but Sports Authority doesn't carry as good of stuff. Now I just prefer Academy for every day things or higher end specialty stores when I need something unique.

Which one did you work at? do you remember any of the corporate guys?Bailey? Ovieda?Titus?Rosemond(sp)?(I worked with his daughters out at the Outlet in North Houston.

I remember going to the one on the North Freeway just south of Aldine Bender with my parents when I was a kid back in the 80s. It was in the Northgate Shopping Center next to Sherwin Williams and Firestone. I think there is an Affordable Furniture store there now. I seem to recall there being one in Greenspoint Mall called Oshman's Outlet. Can anyone confirm this?

The one you are talking about in Northgate was an Oshman's Warehouse Outlet.I worked there from '81 until April of '84.I was an assistant manager. The one in Greenspoint was a regular store.I was short and had kinda bushy hair..You probably wouldn't remember me though.
