Does being B.C.s # 1 Sports Town help business?
In Trail, the hockey has been good for us. When we first started selling hockey I had two competitors that sold it. Now I’m the only one in town that does and I carry a whole ton of it. People are really sports oriented they take it very seriously. That’s a good thing for me. 5. Is your business still growing? Anytime someone is in business they have to always look for growth. I’m always looking at new product to bring in. New things we can do in the store to create more business. We’re selling all the new and innovative stuff and that’s what people want. There’s so much of it in our industry. Twice a year running shoes change, once a year bikes change, hockey stuff changes. There’s innovation like there’s no tomorrow. 6. Do you want your children to take over the business when you retire? I have two kids. My business is very hard work. Not that I don’t think they can do it. You have to spend so much time at it. I’ve been doing it for 22 years and I’m still putting in 14 or 15-hour day
