Meet our Owner
Deborah Gallagher
Deb got into the sporting goods industry as an employee for two family-owned businesses after graduating from West Chester University. She began her career as a high school physical education teacher and coach and moved on to become the head coach for lacrosse and the assistant field hockey coach at Haverford College.
She grew up in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, where she had to wait until high school for a chance to play organized sports, even though she was passionate about them. Things weren't all that much better in 1998, the year that HerSport first opened its doors in Haddonfield. But Gallagher and her partners at the time had a vision that the landscape was going to change and that a sporting goods store just for female athletes could find its place. A quarter of a century and thousands of happy customers later, that notion has been proven right. "That was our mission, to have a store that would cater to the building and growth of women's sports”
