This summer, a new sports collectible store has opened its doors in Minot.
The Sports Shaq, located at 924 37th Avenue SW, has products for sale that include sports trading cards, autographed helmets and photos. Business owner Rachael Nadeau, a Rugby native who has lived in Minot for the past 15 years, came up with the name Sports Shaq as an ode to former NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal. The store began operation on June 15.
Nadeau, who grew up as a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers, says she was motivated to open the store in an effort to make an impact in an underserved niche market.
