Sport Chek Stephen Avenue

The store itself is okay, not many selections as the other sportchek at other locations. Staffs here are rude as hell though, they have a «rather be somewhere else» attitude which is really uncalled for.

Possibly, and easily the nicest Sport Chek I’ve been to. Well, maybe they can’t take the credit for the architectural building, but I digress.
It’s love and hate with the stairs — kinda annoying but it’s different, none of BC’s stores are on multi-​levels. Thank goodness there’s an elevator here.
Hockey gear at the bottom basement level, no goalie stuff. Golf’s down here too.

I goto this location primarily because it is two blocks from my office on Stephens Avenue Downtown. Glad we have one downtown.
That said, I like the staff at this location. Generally, the moment I walk in the door, someone very friendly is always available to help and they are always really quick — something I really value in a retail outlet.
They do not have as much stock available as some other locations in Calgary; however, they are always able to locate the items I am looking for in other locations (and their sister store chain) and reserve the items for me.

Located on Stephen Avenue Mall in the old McNally Robinson building, I wasn’t sure how I felt about this new sporting goods store. It looked big and shiny, and the windows had lots of attractive winterwear but I was still sulking at the loss of McNally. But finally the call of winter sales was too much to resist, and I decided I needed a new toque to add to my collection.
The nice thing about this location is that it is three levels high, whichh means that it is nearly as big as the Sport Cheks in the burbs, although it is a little swankier than one in say, Sunridge because the building is so nice. They had a wall full of toques which totally suited my needs, but also a decent sized section of women’s winterwear and shoes on the main floor. I only briefly glanced above and below but I saw a ton of sportswear and some decent looking equipment.
There wasn’t a lot of staff around, and they weren’t that helpful when I was there just before Christmas. The store wasn’t very busy, so that was a little annoying. So all in all, a three star experience, although I’m going back soon to gather stuff for my new years resolutions…
