So many Westport businesses start out in one place, then end up another.
From Earth Animal and Calico (very recently) to Mitchell’s (now at its third site) and (Viva Zapata (original location: Post Road near the current Playhouse Square), even the most established establishments have wanderlust.
Generations of Westporters remember Sport Mart on Main Street. Before that though, it was in Sconset Square. (The shopping plaza was then called by the much more normal local name “Sherwood Square.”)

After moving a few hundred yards west in the 1960s, the old Sport Mart became many things.
But the first place where Westporters once bought tennis racquets, skis and other sports equipment has returned to its roots.
Today it once again serves athletes of all abilities.
These days, it’s Fleet Feet.
