Nikolay was born into a family that always valued hard work and the desire to reach new heights. From a young age, he showed an interest in business and entrepreneurship, which eventually led him to create his own business. His brother Vladimir became a reliable partner and ally in this endeavor.
Starting a Business
The history of the Sportmaster company did not begin with a large retail empire. In the 1990s, the Fartushnyak brothers noticed the growing interest of the population in fitness and a healthy lifestyle. At that time, high-quality fitness equipment was in short supply on the Russian market. They started their business by selling exercise machines of the German brand Kettler, which quickly gained popularity due to their quality and reliability.
Realizing that customers wanted more than just exercise machines, the brothers decided to expand their product range. They saw the potential in creating a full-fledged sports center that would satisfy the diverse needs of customers.
Creation of Sportmaster
It was then that the idea of creating a chain of Sportmaster stores was born. A distinctive feature of this enterprise was the desire to offer a wide range of goods for sports and active recreation. The brothers did not limit themselves to one brand or direction - they sought to create a whole group of brands to meet the needs of a wide variety of customers.
Their approach to business was to provide customers with everything they needed for sports under one roof - from clothing and footwear to equipment and accessories for various sports.
Company Development
Over time, Sportmaster has become a real empire of sports retail. The company began to actively expand both in Russia and abroad. Thanks to a well-thought-out development strategy and constant updating of the range, Sportmaster has become an internationally famous brand.
Today, the company continues to please its customers with a wide selection of goods for sports and active recreation, remaining true to its principles of quality and affordability.
The Fartushnyaki brothers managed to create a unique business that has become an integral part of the lives of millions of people around the world. Their story is an example of how perseverance, a vision of the future and a willingness to meet customer needs can lead to incredible success.
