Sport Chek is closing its longtime West Broadway location in Mount Pleasant, marking the departure of a major retailer from the neighbourhood after nearly two decades.
The store at 18 West Broadway — at the southwest corner of Ontario Street and West Broadway — opened about two decades ago, shortly after completion of the five-storey mixed-use building in 2004. The Canadian sporting goods retailer occupies just under 20,000 square feet of ground-level commercial space and has 36 dedicated vehicle parking stalls in the building's underground parkade, which also contains 78 residential units.
Closing sales began earlier in July, with discounts increasing to 50 per cent off the lowest marked price on all merchandise beginning Thursday, July 23, 2026. A long line of eager shoppers was seen outside the store on Saturday, July 25, with a significant amount of remaining merchandise still available.
Commercial real estate firm Marcus & Millichap began marketing the Sport Chek unit for lease last year. The existing zoning permits uses such as cafes, bakeries, bistros, pharmacies, and retail, with the potential to demise the space into smaller retail units. The location has historically been one of the chain's quieter stores. In recent years, businesses in the area have been affected by construction for the Broadway Subway project, including full traffic closures of East Broadway earlier this year and a six-month closure of West Broadway between Alberta and Cambie streets that began early this week. After the Sport Chek closes, the nearest locations will be the Robson Street flagship in Downtown Vancouver, the Marine Drive store in South Vancouver, Park Royal mall in West Vancouver, and Metropolis at Metrotown in Burnaby.
