Heritage Sport Company Limited

Can you provide a brief history of Heritage Sport Company Limited?

Heritage Sport Company has its origin in the most humble of beginnings. Owner Richard McFarlane, seeing a need for affordable football equipment, began catering to young Tobagonian footballers by selling products out of a suitcase and the trunk of his car. He would daily visit the various practice fields around Tobago offering for sale, footballs, football shoes and other equipment. Eventually his car became so recognizable that he would be flagged down while driving by persons hoping to “catch a deal” on a pair of “boots”. After approximately one year of peddling goods on the street and at various community fields, the new business took on an official name and set up residence at a local mall location.
