“I was at the store shopping for my mother for a Christmas present. The staff was great and the manager went over and above by being polite and helping me. She showed me exactly what I was looking for and overall the experience was great.”
“Best golf buying experience I have had to date. The staff actually listen to you regarding the clubs that interest you. After purchasing a used set, I found a defect on one of the clubs. They didn’t squabble at all; they immediately acknowledge the issue and got me set up in a new set I love. Thanks guys, you got my business now!”
“Great experience purchasing new cross-country skis and boots. Picked up warmer ski mitts too. Hot waxed the new skis while I tried on mitts. Skiing by that afternoon!!”
“Excellent customer service, great shipping. I'm a newbie so just ordered a couple of discs and needed some shipping changes - customer service was super responsive and accurate, and got my discs to me exactly when I needed them! Arrived packed perfectly. Thanks.”
“All of there staff was so nice and helpful. The manager angel was so nice and helpful. When testing out my shoes she told me a “secret” on how to not get blisters. She gave us a tip on how to use there water resistant spray. If I could have given a bigger number of stars I would we will definitely be going here instead of sport check better prices and nicer staff and if you are out of town angel gives extra time for returns or exchanges. I love this place!!”
“I came by to try on some Blundstones and I loved the customer service. Shoutout to Tarah and the people in footwear! They were so helpful and supportive. The tips about sizing and care were amazing. I really appreciated their help and will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much!”

“Last weekend I visited Play It Again Sports (South) with my six-year-old son to pick up his first pair of ice skates, and it was a fantastic experience.
The store was very well organized, and the staff was incredibly helpful.
A special shout-out to Spencer, the salesperson who assisted us. He was extremely patient and took his time to make sure we found a skate and helmet that fit my son perfectly. ? Thanks Spencer.”
“Under Armour has a very large store with an excellent variety of products, from shoes to T-shirts, pants, accesorios, and more. They always offer great discounts, and the clothing is diverse, comfortable, and good quality. Customer service is excellent from the moment you walk in, making the shopping experience truly enjoyable. The only thing I would add is that they could offer more lifestyle sneakers and sports hoodies. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to shop!”
“Bought my North Face jacket on Black Friday sale. Very good price and Sean help me to send my previously bought jacket from Prairie Summit for warranty repair to North Face.”
“I went knowing what I wanted from looking on the site. I asked a worker if they had them in store and she found exactly what I wanted. I tried them on and bought them. The entire experience took maybe 5 minutes. I definitely left a happy customer.”
“When you walk in this store and the sales man remembers you from your last purchase. That says it all. I came in to be fitted for some new clubs and I was approached by this same gentleman who was so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable he put up with me, my sass, laughter, and stupid jokes for over an hour. By the time I finally picked my clubs he made sure I was absolutely positive and comfortable. I would highly recommend anyone who doesn’t have a clue of what they want or what they need to visit this store and make sure to ask to see Mr. Kyle Wheeler AKA incredible at his job and a great guy. Thank you …. I’ll be back.”
“Amazing and spacious sports store. For me, it’s the best athletic brand on the market, with a wide variety of high-quality leggings and sports clothes. The shoes and socks are excellent as well, and you can find everything in one place, including a section with clothing and footwear on sale. The staff is helpful, although the store is usually quite busy.”
“In my opinion, Asics offers the best athletic shoes on the market. They are comfortable, dynamic, lightweight, and come in a variety of colors and designs. Prices are reasonable, and they have a section with shoes on sale. Customer service in the store is good, and I highly recommend visiting if you’re looking for a high-quality pair of training or running shoes.”
“Lululemon offers stylish and high-quality clothing for both women and men. You’ll find leggings, sports bras, tops, accessories, bags, jackets, and more. The store is well laid out and overall very nice to visit. The only downside is that there isn’t much in-store discount variety compared to what you can find on their website or the outlet. Still, it’s a great shop to stop by if you’re looking for quality activewear.”
“The thing holding this MEC back from being the best outdoor store in Winnipeg is location.
Sadly, the majority of locals prefer travelling by car, and this makes getting to MEC especially difficult because of parking. There is literally one designated parking spot for customers. Technically there are two if you include the accessibility stall, but that one is usually taken by the security guard (who does not have an accessible parking permit visible). So given the extremely limited availability for close access via car, this is a big deterrent for potential customers.
I typically order online through MEC and pick up in store because it is pretty quick, and I don’t have to meet the $50 minimum for free shipping. Sometimes the item I want will not be at this store so it will get shipped there, but I still don’t pay for postage. Picking up is easy and the staff allow me to bring my bike inside. They do have a bike rack directly inside the doors, but I would never leave a bike downtown unattended, locked or unlocked.
The staff is always polite and helpful, anyone who says otherwise is just looking for something to complain about.
My only complaint is the location, as no matter what you use to travel, it will always be a challenge to get there. This isn’t necessarily a fault of MEC, more so city planning, however I would love to see them in a more accessible area.
Overall, this is a great Canadian owned store, with excellent customer satisfaction policies.”
“I love this store for hiking gear and winter gear, especially for my kids. They have good sales and it makes everything more affordable. Have always been happy with quality.”
“I’m so grateful for Klaus and the team at printedshirts, they helped me with huge order for a hockey tournament. The whole process so so streamlined and smooth, and the quality of the shirts is amazing! Big selection too! I’ll be using these guys for all my future swag shirts! Thank you so much!!!”
