Perani's Hockey World is a retail chain founded by Bob Perani in 1976. They specialize in indoor, outdoor and street hockey, and also lacrosse. With a main office in Flint, Michigan, Perani's has nine locations in Michigan, one each in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Texas, with two in Ontario, Canada.
Perani's holds an annual warehouse clearance sale each year at Lakeland Ice Arena in Waterford, MI. They also hold in-store sales each summer, including their Livonia, MI location - the Largest Hockey Store in the World.
Perani's has received criticism from local unions due to their poor wages for employees.
Perani's Hockey World owns the naming rights to Perani Arena and Event Center in Flint, home of the Flint Generals, a minor league hockey team.
