About us

DMK SPORTS was established in 1991 by Donald Falcone with the help of his sons Donald Jr. and Michael. Started out of the home servicing local youth teams, business and intramural sports teams at Bryant College. Upon Don Jr's graduation from Bryant the doors were opened on the first retail store in Smithfield, still located there today in a larger and better location. In its beginning the specialty was team and business outfitting as well as retail licensed team apparel; Celtics, Bruins, etc. A few years later Michael left the business to move into a career of construction. Don jr's sister Karen played a key role for quite a few years as the artwork specialist helping to design customers logos and t-shirt designs. She is now using her creative mind in the kitchen design trade.

In our first few years of business, soccer had just begun to grow at a considerable rate, and with the high demand and encouragement from local soccer players the decision was made to transition into a soccer specialty store. In the mid 90s a second location was opened at Ocean State Indoor Sports; RI's first indoor sports complex, located in Lincoln. Upon their closing of that facility the store was relocated to RI Indoor Sports; now known as TeamWorks.

During the transition year before the store in Warwick, the Smithfield store was renovated and doubled in size to the size it is now. Over the years many things have changed, from the product sold to the personnel helping sell it. But a few thing have remained constant; the attention to detail and customer service better than others in the industry.

Also, the offerings of merchandise has changed but we are most proud of the added production methods added which now include: embroidery, direct imprinting, vinyl cutting for lettering, cap embroidery, decals and more to come.
