Mountain Equipment Company is about to open its seventh location in Ontario, with a brand new store at 1 - 1650 Victoria Street East in Whitby. This will be MEC’s 23rd standalone location across Canada and will open July 2024.
“Whitby, is one of Canada’s fastest growing communities and offers year-round recreation via its parks and waterways, complemented by nearby Kawarthas Provincial Parks. It exemplifies the type of location MEC seeks to expand into. When an MEC location moves in, surrounding businesses and local outdoor community thrives. MEC stands as a destination for outdoor enthusiasts drawing local community to the area for events as well as gear. We’re thrilled to be announcing our latest store opening here in July.”
The new 20,000 sqft. retail space will feature a well curated assortment of top name outdoor brands along with a calendar of community events and clinics to support activities from camping, hiking, paddling, and climbing to cycling and snow sports. There will be a designated bike mechanic area and the store will be paired with expert staff offering advice and knowledge on both gear and activities.
The retailer is currently recruiting for a variety of positions at the new store including a dynamic and experienced General Manager.
