(Hub City Times) -Power Pac, Inc., a powersports and equipment dealership in Marshfield, has acquired Country Sports Inc. in Wisconsin Rapids.

Power Pac owners, Josh and Mandy Witt have now expanded to three locations, Power Pac, Erv’s Sales and Service, and Country Sports, in just under four years. The Witts say that growth was always in their plans but the rate of growth was a bit unexpected.

The Witts said that they look forward to “continuing the legacy that was built by the Haasl family, who founded Country Sports Inc., and John Montgomery, who became part owner with the Haasl brothers in the 1980s."

"Country Sports, formerly called Country Sports Center, was established in 1969 by Bill and Elaine Haasl who assembled and sold Honda Motorcycles out of a two-stall garage. Expansion was soon needed and in 1971, a new shop was built in the current location on Hwy 13 South in Wisconsin Rapids."

"In 1982, stock was incrementally issued to Bill and Elaine’s son Jeff, and longtime and trusted employee John Montgomery. In 1990 they transferred their balance of stock to their youngest son Jason. Jeff, John and Jason, with their team, have taken Country Sports Inc. to what you see today.”

As John and Jeff planned for retirement, they said they had specific criteria in mind as they pursued buyers for the business.
