Local sporting good stores are keeping up with Royals fans wanting to purchase World Series shirts with multiple daily shipments.

The Royals took the Crown Sunday night.  It’s the first time the Royals have won the World Series since 1985.

Many fans in St. Joseph were able to hit up Dicks Sporting Goods right after the Royals won.

“The store reopened up after the last out and saw a lot of people coming in looking for the t-shirts and looking for their gear,” said Eric Marshall, Community Marking Manager for Dicks Sporting Goods. “I know they were open til at least 12:30 or 1 a.m.”

Autumn Ambroci, Assistant Manager for Rally House said the St. Joseph location opened four hours early Monday and there were already about 25 people waiting in line.

“It’s crazy hectic but it’s a lot of fun and everyone is really understanding of getting the shirts in and standing in line to get them rung up,” Ambroci said. “Just the energy of having the Royals win and having the energy of getting the fans in is really exciting.”

Both stores said they plan on receiving multiple shipments daily.

“Probably at this point I have about four different styles of shirts,” Ambroci said. “We’ll be getting another shipment at three today and I’ll probably get more styles of shirts and we’ll add on to getting hats and pendants and sweatshirts and long sleeves.”

After being open for only about six hours Ambroci said she figured they had already sold nearly 1,000 shirts.

Marshall said he wasn’t able to comment on the numbers.

“I can tell you that what we’re doing is we’re basing it on demand so as long as there is demand we’re going to trying to replenish to make sure we’re in a good position to serve what people are looking for,” Marshall said. “We’re getting new shipments in multiple times a day.”

Rally House plans to open a 7 a.m., three hours earlier than normal every day this week for fans to come in and pick out their merchandise.

Dicks said it plans to keep its normal hours this week, 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
