Florence, South Carolina

Florence’s Outdoor Outfitter.
Since 1973.

53 years on the same street. Same ownership. Same values.

A Bait Shop That Became a Landmark

Since 1973, Irby Street Sporting Goods has been serving the Pee Dee’s outdoor community with one simple goal: helping people enjoy the outdoors.

What began as a small family-owned bait and tackle shop founded by Lonnie Welch has grown into one of the region’s premier destinations for hunting, fishing, archery, firearms, and outdoor gear.

We haven’t moved. We haven’t sold out. We’re still on Irby Street, still locally owned, still open before sunrise because that’s when our customers need us.
