Local Investor Purchases Crown Sports Center

SALISBURY, MARYLAND— NAI Coastal and Gillis Gilkerson Principal Brad Gillis is pleased to announce Gillis Gilkerson’s purchase of Crown Sports Center, an indoor athletic and entertainment facility located at 28410 Crown Road in Fruitland, Maryland. After sixteen years of ownership, Founder Bill Hearne sold the business and real estate to Gillis Gilkerson’s development team, a group well-known for their ability to add value to existing properties across the Delmarva Peninsula.

Crown Sports Center, formerly Crown Cork and Seal manufacturing plant, is one of the largest athletic facilities in the region. With indoor and outdoor turf fields and multipurpose courts, the center hosts countless leagues, tournaments, clinics, and player showcases each year. Additionally, Crown offers the community full-scale childcare and summer camp programs.

“Since opening in 2005, Crown has made a huge impact on our community. It is the only facility of its kind in our region and its presence is invaluable,” said Gillis. “Our goal with this acquisition remains consistent with that of our prior investments— we aim to enrich our community. So long as there is demand for a facility like Crown, our team will work to deliver.”

Gillis Gilkerson plans to work alongside the Delmarva community to ensure a smooth transition of ownership and continued facility operation. In the coming months, the team will seek input from local stakeholders in effort to identify areas in which the facility can improve. This feedback will act as a catalyst, helping to modernize and strengthen Crown’s service to its community.

“Crown is a multifaceted, dynamic business,” added Gillis. “Our team is looking forward to digging in and making signaled adjustments as we navigate facility ownership.”

  1. Oh Lord! I will not be involved in anything those clowns are in charge of. I have three indoor soccer teams and we will no longer be playing at Crown. Fk them Gillis Gilkerson Liberals.

  2. Don’t let it fool you. “Crown” will be changed to “Amazon Fulfillment” within 2 years. One hell of a ‘flip’!

  3. After seeing the Liberal Gilkerson’s and Gillis’s demand that Carl “Cornbread” Anderton be appointed to fill Conservative Bob Culver’s County Executive seat after he passed away, I don’t want anything to do with those clowns.
