Article Abstract:

Ace Athletic, which sells athletic clothing and footwear, is planning to leave Homestead in Pittsburgh, PA, when its lease expires in January 1999. The planned move by Ace Athletic will result in merely two outlets for the firm, one on the South Side's Carson St. and the other on Penn Avenue in East Liberty, both in Pittsburgh. Owner Gary Schmitt stated that he knew Ace Athletic would eventually leave Homestead after he acquired a four-story, 15,000-sq-ft building at 1214 E. Carson St., also in Pittsburgh.
