Starting tomorrow, soccer fans may purchase their apparel at The Soccer Place on 3001 N. Elm St. #201 in Denton. Owners, Ruben Rivas, 26 and his wife, Marlene Faria, 27 decided to take ideas from stores in Dallas and Lewisville and create their own version. Rivas, originally from San Jose, Calif. and Faria, born in Pico, Azores (an island near Portugal) have one daughter, six-year-old Tatiana. "We got into it because our daughter enjoys playing and we got involved with it," Rivas said about the inspiration for the new business. Rivas is the coach of his daughter's recreational soccer team at the Denton Soccer Association. Rivas and his wife moved from California to Denton in 2006 mainly to purchase a home and thought it was a cool thing to start the store two years later. The Soccer Place will host the UNT men's recreational team and other teams during their grand opening. They will also have as a raffle on Friday with prizes given away on Sunday. "We will have everything any soccer player and soccer coach is going to need," Rivas said. The Soccer Place Keeping you informed, Karina RamÃrez |
