SHREVEPORT, La. - If it wasn t for this fitness section, I wouldn t have my house, said Rob Webster, owner of Play It Again Sports in Shreveport.
Webster is a busy man. When he s not on duty for the Shreveport Police Department he s been answering non-stop fitness questions from customers at his Play It Again Sports on East 70th Street.
Like many business owners the COVID pandemic forced Webster to shut the doors for nearly five months. Slowly but surely shoppers started coming back, but they were all looking for one thing - fitness equipment. Everything shut down. When restaurants and non-essential businesses shut down, we had to shut down. It was three months before things started to open up under the fitness pretense. We started working with a lot of doctors who would send PT (physical therapy) patients up here, said Webster.
