Main Street Businesses: Farmington Commercial Space Turned Into Multi-Sport Complex
Friday, 21 August, 2026

A former Farmington grocery store has become a hub for local youth sports, thanks to the Pennington family. The Penningtons have owned the building since the 1980s and began converting it into practice space for their children's volleyball and baseball teams before opening it up to the wider community.Today, Empire Athletics offers batting cages, volleyball and pickleball courts, a yoga studio and a gym, with a new turf field project already underway. Owners say every dollar the business makes goes back into equipment, not a paycheck. Empire Athletics sits near Costa Vida and Nutra Mills in Farmington, with league, camp and clinic updates posted on Facebook and Instagram.By Tanner WaiteThis story is sponsored by FASTSIGNS Farmington, Legacy Financial Advisors and Rocky Mountain Safety.And presented by Four Corners Economic Development, the Farmington Chamber of Commerce and the Aztec Chamber of Commerce.Watch this story at LNN.news
