In 1952 the store moved to Miracle Mile. A 1953 ad in the Echo listed Gregg Laminated Hickory Skis, Lund Hockey Sticks, Nestor Johnson Skates, Speed, Hard Toe, and Figure Skates, and Skate sharpening service.

Some news in December 1955:
In 1956 the manager was Al Stone and Ben Helmin was the Sporting Goods Buyer. This store added a hobby shop in 1956.
