All 18 of the retail stores across southern Ontario will be closing, Gregory Craig, the retailer's chief financial officer, told investors on Thursday.
National Sports, which carries sportswear, shoes and gear, was launched in 1968 as National Gym Clothing Ltd., according to its website. In addition to a density of physical stores, he said there is an overlap between e-commerce capabilities as well. Meanwhile, the decision came as Hicks told investors that the company's fourth-quarter results were "nothing short of phenomenal" and that its full-year results were strong despite the challenges of operating during a pandemic.
I hope they start sharpen skates at Canadian tire
Makes sense... their focus seems to be on the expansion of their banking business now.
That's too bad. Sure, they what they sold was mostly junk, but now there are just more people who are gonna be out of a job
WTF is a National Sports?
It’s the people who got CERB who are the criminals though 🙄 The corporation is a criminal institution.
johnnyc444 You see this ?
Hopefully a new retailer comes along and starts a similar model in their place and begins to eat the lunch of overpriced Sportchek.
The carnage continues brick by brick in Canada.
Sportchek be like after hearing about National Sports!
I didn't even know they were a thing.
So sad. That pic is our Pickering store we have had here for 30 years. Being right off the 401 at whites rd I bed a giant condo is going in it’s place
This smells
Are they converting to Sport Chek?
I blame branding. With looking the part such an important part of getting athlete fame on Instagram i think national sports has lost alot of sales on impulse items that likely had a higher profit margin than high budget items. Think sweat bands water bottles, stuff like that.
Ya to get more ppl at Sportcheck...same company
Sad to see. Was undoubtedly the best sports store in Ontario. Canadian Tire and Sport Chek aren’t gonna cut it for real athletes
Very strange 🙄
Never heard of that store, so no loss.
Why?
