Hey everyone
Just thought I would past on some possible great news for this city.
I don't know if some of you know of the SVP (Si Vous Play) Sports Company, but they are a HUGE shoe, sports, and clothing retailer. Here's their website to look up on them some more http://www.svpsports.ca/.
Well this past weekend I went by their store, which I do often. Well I was talking to someone of their management and got on the topic of Hamilton. To my surprise they told me that they have been looking at this city for the past 3 years or so, Jackson Square being one location, and even most recently as the new power center in Up.Stoney Creek. They wouldn’t get into detail about what happened to the Jackson Square location, but said that they were very interested in locating there.
For Hamilton to acquire a store like this would be great for the city. They carry a large range shoes, soccer merchandise and urban clothing. It would thrive here with Hamilton’s large soccer following. Yes I know some people are still concerned that, other sports besides Hockey can survive here. Even though this city continually put out some of the best amateur/High school/rep, soccer, basketball and football teams in the province and even the country. But yet lack the stores and facilities compared to Hockey, but that’s a different argument.
What I am trying to get at is that this is a store that can do very good for the city, especially for our downtown. Just a little insight of the how popular they are, on summer and holiday weekends you sometimes may have to wait outside for up to 10mins to get into their Steeles Outlet location.
So in conclusion, I ask for you guys and girls help by e-mailing them and letting them know why Hamilton is a great city for them to open up shop in.
I posted this in both the Suburbs and Downtown section as they have looked at multiple locations.
I will try to get on my detective skills and see what other information I can get from them, and keep everyone posted.
