ABOUT US

We all develop passions and get this overwhelming urge to make that passion a reality. In 1969, in a small town of Campbellsville, KY, Ronnie Hord and Wayne Wells were able to make their passion become a reality. The two men created H+W Sports Shop, a sporting goods store that began its traction by selling Chuck Taylors and softballs.

A few years later, Wells decided to sell out to Hord, leaving him full ownership. Ronnie kept the name H+W Sport Shop. He began to expand by selling a variety of sporting goods not only to store customers but to local schools all over Kentucky. Ronnie quickly expanded his staff by bringing on Rick Wilson as his main salesman. Hord and Wilson paved the way for more staff by bringing on other salesmen and production members. The growth of H+W Sport Shop allowed a small-town business dream to become a reality as they achieved more school accounts and paved a legacy of having the best customer service.

In 2014, Ronnie decided it was time to pass the torch. Instead of selling to a larger corporation, Ronnie decided to sell the family business to his youngest son, Shaun. In 2016 H+W was struck with tragedy when their store front was struck by lightning causing a horrific fire and complete loss. However, with Shaun’s vision, H+W was able to quickly move into a temporary workspace and continue fulfilling team orders.

In the summer of 2018, H+W moved into its completed storefront on Main Street in Campbellsville, Ky where it is currently located. Powering through major opposition with big corporate companies and fire devastation, H+W was still able to continue growing as one of the largest small business sports dealers in Kentucky. H+W is also one of the largest team dealers with Adidas in the nation.

Today with Shaun’s leadership and vision, H+W has become one of the leading family owned sports retailer in the region. After acquiring Dukes Sporting Goods, (a local sporting goods store located in Elizabethtown, Ky), the well known and current H+W Dukes Sports was established. Now in 3 different locations across Campbellsville, Elizabethtown, and Bowling Green, H+W Dukes Sports has continued to grow while nourishing the same core values the company was founded on. The mission of H+W Dukes Sports is to provide the best value and customer experience through unrivaled service and growing relationships.

Now known as H+W Dukes Sports, we service over 100+ schools in Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana with an elite TEAM of salesmen and staff. H+W Dukes Sports had perfected the art of customer service by providing the most intentional care in Team Sales to schools all over and rapidly growing into the corporate sales world.
