Almost 60 years and three generations of the Noel family have dedicated their lives and careers to building this brand.
Unfortunately, large corporations and corrupt politicians have made it nearly impossible for the little guy to compete in this market for labor, suppliers, land, capital, and inventory; and provide a quality level of service at a fair price.
Iโm proud to be the grandson of John P. Noel, founder of Grand Valley Marine. His legacy will live on at our Torch Lake location.
I hope to dedicate myself to the community of entrepreneurs building their brands today in order to leave a lasting legacy that they too can be proud of. I am in the fight for equality of opportunity, so that no one will have to see the end of an era gone too soon.
Grand Valley Sport & Marine has announced that after nearly 60 years in business, it is closing its original store on 28th Street.
