As Dart World celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, it is very rewarding to look back and see how it all started: In 1970 Dart World was opened by Paul Hong. Paul was influential in bringing darts to New England, and he was instrumental in the creation of the Minuteman Dart League in 1974. The Minuteman Dart League has grown to be one of the large leagues. Paul moved the company to Lynn, Massachusetts in 1977, where he met Don Amirault and a business relationship began. Don opened his first dart store, Darts & Parts, in the summer of 1977 and quickly became the place for players to shop, with people traveling as far as 100 miles away. In 1983 Don opened his second store in Waltham, Massachusetts which was a success and, two years later, opened his third store in Ipswich, Massachusetts. Mark Amirault (Don's brother) was Paul Hong's first employee at Dart World's new location in Lynn. Mark learned all facets of the dart industry from beginning to end with his 7 year tenure at Dart World. After graduating from college with an accounting degree, Mark joined Don as his partner in the store operations. Don & Mark became a Dart World Distributor in 1986.
