LOUP CITY â The goal of Platte River Outdoors is to âcater to the lake people,â according to Mark Kuszak, co-owner of the sporting goods store in Loup City.
Customers can visit the lower level of Kuszak Hardware and Variety for their hunting, fishing and archery needs.
Platte River Outdoors was based in Tony Kuszakâs home in Kearney for more than five years before it was moved in February to Loup City.
âUpstairs, we had a small fishing and hunting section, and weâve seen there was definitely a demand for it with us being five miles from Sherman Reservoir and having a lot of traffic,â said Tony Kuszak, co-owner of Platte River Outdoors. âWith me having an archery business in Kearney, we just kind of saw the opportunity to maybe do a sporting goods section up here and expand into what we had upstairs into the True Value side of things.â
