Peoria used sporting goods store now is fully stocked, 'fully functioning'
Underdog Sports & Fanfare in Peoria now has a full roster.
When the roughly 4,500-square-foot storefront opened last fall, it wasn't yet fully stocked, owner Paul Layton told the Journal Star.

But a recent Facebook post showed shelves, racks and bins loaded with gear, supplies and merchandise. Underdog buys and resells used sports equipment. The store also offers new sports-themed items.
Layton said Wednesday it's now a "fully functioning" store.
In addition to the used "play it again" gear — shoes, uniforms, helmets and more — Underdog Sports carries a range of new pro- and college-themed merchandise, including flags, welcome mats, waste baskets and even trailer hitches.
