Timeline
Early Years: Judge Little Sporting Goods Inc.
1993-2014
After graduating from college, Tommy Little began working at Judge Little’s, an independent sporting goods store established in 1946 by his grandfather Judge Little. For over two decades, he served as the co-owner and operator, building a reputation for delivering quality sporting goods to the community and local schools. In 2014, after a successful run with locations in Meridian, Jackson and Tupelo, Mississippi, Tommy made the decision to sell the business, marking the end of an era.
New Horizons: Grove Athletic Sales 2018
In late 2018, Tommy’s passion for the sporting goods industry reignited when he acquired Grove Athletic Sales from Mike Grove, a distinguished and long-standing manufacturer’s representative. This strategic move opened up new horizons for Tommy, allowing him to continue making a significant impact in the industry.
