Fair enough...
However, MEC has long been a champion of sustainability, and really, this Burlington location is a real departure for them.
Most of us have been in the Toronto location. A great streetfront location in a busy active downtown, with a streetcar at your doorstep.
The Ottawa location is in Westboro, which is an earthy outdoorsy neighbourhood (not unlike Westdale), and not far from the O-Train.
The flagship Vancouver location has moved from its original location, but West Broadway is a very busy and active neighbourhood.
You see the trend here?
Perhaps the move to a big box type store reflects there recent decision to have much of their manufacturing moved overseas. Maybe the almighty dollar is compromising their values.
It's starting to reek a bit like Disney.
