Very consistent and can always trust you have a good edge. Last time I was in he pointed out a fresh delivery of pro-stock sticks just when I was looking for a new twig. Thanks for the recommendation, the stick is awesome! He's in the Richmond store now so always make sure to get my skates sharpened before my games at RIC.

End of funny story. Actually there is another funny or cute story associated with this place and it relates to the signage on the door.

I purchased size 10 LiNing badminton shoes from US and the size did not fit me and the shoes are…read morebrand new, not even used once. I wanted to return the shoes but the management is unwilling to accept the return or even exchange for another size. I would not recommend the store because the post-purchase experience is terrible.

I love me some New Balance shoes. Checked this store out because I needed some new work shoes. New…read morebalance is a fantastic option for peeps who have wide feet because they actually carry wide width shoes. NB runners are also very comfortable for walkers and runners. This store is located by the fantastic Canadian Brew pub so post shoe shop you can grab some grub. On entrance the store has fantastic lighting and is very cleaned and organized. We were greeted promptly and helped until a decision was made. Shoes were 20% off too! I am very happy with my purchase and I would definitely shop here again!

Called this location to find a New Balance 990 2A (difficult size to find). I was told they didn't…read morehave it and neither did the warehouse. Sourced an 847 through Zappos.com in the US so had to have my family receive and ship them to me. Called the location again a week later to ask for the corporate contact number and asked about the 990 and was surprised they did have a pair in stock . I was asked if I wanted to place them on hold and I said yes. Unhappy I'm paying more after shipping and currency conversion for a lower tier shoe. I received a call and had to disconnect. Called back and was told the 990 is on hold for someone else. Now irritated I've received unhelpful, conflicting info.

They were very conscious about social distancing and prevention of the spread of COVID 19 so I felt very safe shopping there. Prices are competitive and the only slight neg I can point out is that their inventory goes fast and no fault of their own. Shipping has slowed down considerably due to COVID. Would go back there again for all my badminton needs.

TONY is the reason I love supporting local!! GREAT prices, AMAZING service, and you can tell this…read moreman has a LOVE for his work! My friends and I arrived without knowing it was by appointment only. Tony was super kind and patient and still allowed us in. We needed 3 racquets, 2 pairs of shoes, 4 regrips and 2 stringings. When we came, it was PACKED, but my man TONY made sure we were safe and followed COVID protocol while we were browsing through his clearance section, which I think was pretty much the entire store (Tony only gives his customers the HOTTEST deals). Oh, you wanna talk about service? Imagine having 10 people in one store, and taking care of each of them simultaneously and without mistakes while STILL being patient and ensuring we leave with the best gear that suits our playstyle. That's Tony for ya. Nothing but the best. I'm pretty sure he'd sit down with me and help me with my calculus homework if I asked. My favourite part about my experience at this store has to be how much passion I felt from Tony and his team in their work. He carefully and sternly walked us through maintenance and care of our racquets and shoes, making me respect the sport even more. "Don't be lazy!" Tony says. "Put the head of the racquet in first, THEN the tail. DON'T BE LAZY!" My friends and I left with a rekindled excitement for badminton, beautiful memories, and a mantra we'll keep for the rest of our lives. We'll never be lazy, Tony. Never.
