Welcome to the Dave's Sports Shop website - thanks for stopping by!

Dave's Sports Shop was founded as "Jude's Sporting Goods & Housewares" in 1957 by Dave's parents, Jude and Gert VanderHoek, in downtown Lynden. The shop served local sportsmen in this location for fifteen years, until the first of several expansions. In April 2007, we opened our store at 1738 Front Street with 6,300 square feet; more than triple the previous sporting goods section at Ace! More than fifty-five years later, the VanderHoek family and our friendly and knowledgeable team are still serving Whatcom County with Everything for the Outdoors!!!

We carry a full line of apparel, archery gear, fishing & hunting gear, hunting and target rifles, handguns, ammunition, camping gear, athletic supplies, and more. For more information on any specific products or sections, please call us at (360) 354-5591. Most of what we don’t keep in-stock can be special-ordered within about a week! We serve all of the local communities, including towns in Whatcom County and the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada.
