Who Are We?

A Passionate Company with Unique History

In response to the tennis boom of the 1970's, Fromuth Fine Arts, as it was known at the time, started carrying items people were looking for to get into the game: racquets, balls, and strings. Over time, tennis overwhelmed the art shop, and Fromuth Tennis was born.

Fromuth Tennis is now rebranded as Fromuth Racquet Sports, and with the positive impact of pickleball in clubs, parks, and schools, the racquet sport business has never been healthier!

CEO & Owners

Pat & Meg Shields

Fromuth Racquet Sports started nearly 50 years ago as an art store offering custom framing in a row home in West Reading, Pennsylvania. In response to the tennis boom of the 1970s, Fromuth started carrying the few items people were looking for to get into the game: racquets, balls, strings, footwear, and yes, those really short shorts. Over time, and as our sport grew, the tennis business overwhelmed the art supply shop. Jim Fromuth, fresh out of college, took the business to the next level by committing to large inventories and distributing to pro shops, clubs, coaches, and retailers.

In 1992, my wife and I were fortunate enough to be able to purchase Fromuth Racquet Sports. The "bones" of the business were all there: great customer service, same-day shipping, a huge inventory, and a culture that was widely recognized as the best in the industry. We immediately recognized that our job was to leave it alone, just market the heck out of it.

Twenty-five years (and a lot of gray hair) later, we are proud to have thrived and survived! We measure success in giving people good jobs, helping our local community, and in growing the game we love. We have strong partnerships with all of the top brands and organizations in the industry, and if you are lucky enough to make tennis your business, we'd love to be your partner too!

Sincerely,
Pat Shields
