Just got confirmation that the next SC Friends and Family sale will be Sept 26th and 27th.
25% off all regular priced item 10% off sale.

I will post coupon once I receive it.

Sept 27th is also the grand opening day for the Sportchek on Marine Drive and Ontario, 20% off entire store should be the GO sale......so for your regular price items, go to a regular Sportchek and get 25% off, for the already reduced items, go to the Marine store and get an additional 20% off.

Don't think the Team Assist coupon will stack with either sales, but the Team Assist card can still be used which earns you 5% 'kickback' for the end of the year on a gift card...so its almost like an additional 5% off.

So you're saying I get 45% discount if i shop at marine drive location? It's directly on my way to work. :fullofwin:

no
Marine drive is 20% off store, but does not have friends/family sale.

[skiiipi]

So you're saying I get 45% discount if i shop at marine drive location? It's directly on my way to work. :fullofwin:

if an item is already on sale
Marine will give you an additional 20% while a regular sportchek will give you additional 10% with friends/family

but a regular price item you get 20% off at marine, while 25% off at any other sportchek with friends/family deal

so if the item you want is regular price, go to any sportchek other than marine
if the item you want is on sale, go to marine if it is not too far out of your way

[woob]

Any idea what kind of stock the new Marine store is getting in terms of bikes?

[skiiipi]

prob not a ton
i will be there on Friday
so I can give you guys updates leading up to the grand opening

[woob]

Thanks, homie!

[DA9ve]

Yes those can be used
please do explain

[skiiipi]

please do explain

the promo gift card that you would have received during the last promotion are just regular gift cards, except with an expiry date of oct 31st. so as long as they are used before oct 31st, they can be used with any promotion, no exclusions, it is just a form of payment.

if you do not have these said gift cards, then this does not apply to you

[skiiipi]

K so update on the whole Marine Drive sportchek
The store will be running the same friends and family promotion as everybody else for the 27th/28th.
On the 27th, the beat 94,5 will be on location from 1-5pm and 2 whitecap players will be signing autographs from 3pm to 5pm.

On October 13th will be the grand opening weekend for the complex
20% off entire store will apply then for sportchek (90% confirmed)
Kevin Bieksa will be at Canadian Tire doing autographs (not sure times yet)
Geroy Simon will be at Sportchek on that same day.

Bike selection for Marine is actually decent, they pulled a lot of higher end bikes from the surrounding stores.

Seeking clarification.

Typo on the 27/28? Or are they having the Friday (28th) as F&F just for that store seeing as all the rest of the Sport Cheks F&F is the 26th/27th (Weds/Thurs)...?

How did you like your hockey and bike training tonight?
Posted via RS Mobile

[pinke]

I have a strong knowledge of hockey so it felt long and boring. But for those who didn't know much about the sport, the training and product knowledge is top notch for an introduction. Bike training was heavy since I don't know much besides the basics and types of bikes out there. but again, good info. They really emphasized on the need and need to know parts since that's the direction they want to go in

And were you there for the 1st night when they went over the basic customer service concept?
How did you find that?
This your first retail job? If so, how easy was it to graps?
If not, how did you like the sportchek model compared to other retailers that you've worked for?

Posted via RS Mobile

I have worked retail before so the stuff like greeting the customer every time and having a good conversation going wasn't anything new. What sets Sportchek apart from where I previously worked was that they focus on really going beyond just pushing the products and more about the sport/activity and how to give the customer more info. I'm majoring in Kinesiology so pushing for an active healthy lifestyle is nice to see in a retail workplace.

[skiiipi]

That's good to hear
as a company we have come a long way....and marine is a new generation, where its the first store where we completely dropped the "step by step" selling system and instead just focusing on looking after the customer.

Easy to spot, he's the guy without the truck. :P

[TurboTalon]

can gift cards be used online?

edit nevermind, just called customer service, and they said no.

I am looking for a bicycle helmet, and the store closest to me doesn't stock it. Do I just have to check all stores to find it? or can a store get it in for me?

[skiiipi]

Bump since sale is tomorrow!
Hope you guys are able to find what you'd like.
I'll be at the Marine Drive store tomorrow night for the VIP night as well as Thursday Morning during the opening.

Is VIP only for the employees family?

Yup, we were the ones inquiring about the dog carrier :) I think we settled on a rear tray with a milk carton basket to carry the dog. Just need to make sure the Jamis can fit a rear tray wide enough.

Most likely going to pickup the white Jamis F3 in 17"

Store is not bad, we like the layout and the overall flow of the store.
