Harder Sporting Goods was founded in 1882 as a gun shop. Through the years it expanded into nearly every aspect of sports including hunting, fishing, bowling, bicycles, cameras, luggage, small electric appliances and most team sports. After a fire in 1978 and a second fire in 1980, which resulted in the complete loss of inventory and the building located on Pine Street in downtown Williamsport, Harder’s was relocated within several blocks of the old store until closing later that same year. They moved in 1982 to Lycoming creek road and focesed on the areas athletic sporting goods. What began in a small storefront has grown into a trusted resource for the Williamsport community.

Over the years, we've built strong relationships with schools, leagues, recreational programs, and individual athletes throughout Central Pennsylvania and now ships to every state and 3 countries. Our commitment to quality products, competitive pricing, and personalized service has made us the go-to destination for everything from youth baseball equipment to custom team uniforms.

In 2025, we relocated to our new facility at 2280 East Third Street in Williamsport, allowing us to better serve our growing community with an expanded product selection and improved customer experience.
