Our Story

Sports-n-Stuff is a family owned and operated small custom clothing store located in
Mendota, IL. While the store itself has been a staple in Mendota for decades, it was
purchased by John and Amanda Bresley and their children Jen, Lizzie, and BJ in 2025
with hopes of continuing to serve the community members of Mendota and
surrounding towns.

"Having raised all three of the Bresley children in Mendota and watching them grow
into the amazing adults they are, we wanted to give back to our community in any
way we could. When we heard that Sports-n-Stuff was going up for sale, we wanted
to make sure that it stayed local and a Mendota family buisness. By being able to run
a custom clothing and item store, we are able to give back to the community that
helped raise our children. We are honored to be a staple within our community!" -
Amanda Bresley

"All three of my kids were active in the community growing up and participated in
sports, band, and other community events. I remember taking them to Sports-n-Stuff
to get the items needed to participate in their activities such as softball socks, belts,
and even fan gear for myself! As a community member, I remember how grateful I
was to have store like this in town. This is why our family decided to keep the Sports-
n-Stuff legacy and continue to support our community in this way." -John Bresley
