for sports stuff right now is women,” he noted. “Our
number one product online is earrings with the team
logo. Women are starting to redefine the whole industry.
A lot of the manufacturers are starting to focus on
that segment.” The trend is evident in the store, as
Enthoozies even carries a wide range of makeup
compacts that feature team logos on the outside of the
mirror case.
Walking through the shop, it can become tempting for
diehard fans to buy up everything with their favorite
team’s logo on it, and repeat customers have become a
staple of Maloy’s store. “We’ll have a guy come in, and
he sees everything here and he’ll buy something,” the
owner said. “Within a week, I’ll have his friend coming
in saying ‘Bill told me you have Packers stuff.’ So I show
him the Packers stuff and they’ll both be coming back to
see whatever new Packers we have. It just spreads like
that, because sports fans like talking about their team
and seeing their stuff. The NFL is national now, so you
can follow whatever team you want and you want your
own stuff.”
Enthoozies doesn’t traffic in autographed sports
memorabilia, as that market tends to fluctuate and
is rife with fraudulent items. “We stay away from the
memorabilia because that’s kind of risky,” Maloy
said. “You never know if it’s legit or not, and you end
up hurting a lot of people’s feelings when they come
in trying to sell their autograph and you have to tell
them it’s not really worth anything.” The shop also
steers clear of stocking sports apparel like official team
jerseys, as big box stores like Modell’s have cornered
that market.
The store is also becoming a gathering spot for local
sports fans, and the shop has multiple big screen TVs
displaying sports at all times. “When there’s a game on,
we’ll have it on,” Maloy said. “I’ve got guys that come
in to watch the game for a little while and talk sports.”
Fans can also indoctrinate their newborns into the
world of sports fandom, as the store carries a selection
of baby items adorned with team logos and colors. Team
throw blankets were a hot item around Christmas, and
bottle openers with NFL logos of all shapes and sizes

are another best seller. “Sports fans like to drink beer,
and they like to open it with their team on it,” Maloy
said.
The Montgomery resident is a big Buffalo Bills fan,
which makes Maloy an outlier in Giants territory. The
owner says he never knows what team customers will be
looking to buy merchandise from when they walk into
the store. “Walden has a unique mix of fans,” he said.
“We get
