At the end of the day, I think when it comes to introducing a new line of retail products, especially to have an entire department dedicated to it, a business should devote a specific amount of effort into it. Sport Chek's hockey area is a lot better compared to before.
BUT
Having a lot of the same things but not enough selection just makes people think they're doing it half-assed, which will only keep potential customers at bay.
They need to adjust their prices to market norms, so I don't have to haggle them every time I get in there to buy something, wasting my time, and their staff's. Bauer, for example, impose STRICT pricing restrictions on their products, which even differs between here and states-side. What will they think when they find out that SC sells their items for MUCH more than EVERYONE else, and can't move them? Right?
And they need new stuff. The Reactor line's been out for 4 months now. Still nothing there or an ETA.
