Sportchek, Market Mall Calgary

Sportcheck store marketmall calgary alberta

You probably know by now that if I write a review I found something negative to say but let me be positive today.

So I started to play a bit of squash and till now I used a real old racket that my wife got from someone YEARS ago so it was time for me to start looking for something better. On Saturday we visited a SportChek store in the south of Calgary and i saw a nice Dunlop racket there but i decided to look around a bit because i thought it didn’t come with a protective cover.

So back at home i was still impressed with this nice Dunlop Racket that was only like 50 dollars so we decided to look at a different sportcheck on Sunday just before we would go play Squash to see if they had one with a cover. The SportChek we went to was the one in Market Mall and this Sportchek is a lot bigger then the store we visited on Saterday. They had a lot of racket but non in the price range i saw the day before. And i saw a nice Dunlop Squash Racket that looked like the one from the day before but now it was only 99 dollars almost double then the one the day before.

So i decided to ask one of the SportChek people about it. The SportCheck employee was very helpful and try to figure out what the right price should be. He called a couple of stores including the one we thought i visited the day before but nobody could give him a clear answer. By this time i found out that he was one of the store mangers and he decided to price match me the racket any ways. Then he checked if it came with a cover and apparently it didn’t but still he gave me a great Dunlop cover for the Racket.

And today when doing a bit of research for this review i found out that the racket i saw on saturday is in fact a different racket that costs 50 dollars (on the SportChek website) and this means that i got a great deal and great service.

My conclusion is that if you need sport equipment from one of the big stores then check out the SportChek in Market Mall there the staff is still interested in the customers and willing to help you with all your questions.
