SPORT SWAP IS MOVING
Bayview Store is now closed

Come visit us at our new Location: 109 Vanderhoof Avenue (formerly Gears Bike Store)
We are currently renovating the store. And the store is closed due to Covid, but we are available for curbside pickup and bike service. See below for an update on other recent changes.
----------------------------------------
Hi Sport Swap Customers,

There is lots of new stuff happening with Sport Swap that we are excited to inform you about.

New Ownership:
This past fall, Alan Chow, sold Sport Swap to Steve Martin. Steve grew up in the area and has been shopping at Sport Swap since he was a kid – over 40 years ago! He says he is “excited to be part of the Sport Swap tradition, which has been an institution for so many North Toronto families for generations. And I would like to thank Alan Chow for helping me understand the business and making the transition so smooth.”

Steve has been the owner of Boardsports, another local Leaside sporting goods store, since 2003. We are leveraging his experience to help make Sport Swap even greater for our customers. Boardsports, established in 1974, is a leading retailer in Canada for Snowboard, Windsurf, Kiteboard, SUP, Wakeboard, Waterski, Foil, Skateboard, and Surf products.

New Computer Systems:
In the fall, we installed a new Point of Sale (POS) computer system for inventory, sales and customer purchase history (yes, you no longer need to keep your receipts for your Half-Back, Returns and Store Credits). The new system is integrated with Boardsports, so your store credits can be used at both stores. We also launched a new Shopify Ecommerce Website over the winter, which includes real time inventory of our new and used items – making it much easier for our customers to shop.

New Sport Categories:
This past winter, we were happy to add two new sport categories to Sport Swap: Cross Country Ski and Snowshoes. Both categories proved hugely popular over the winter. And we look forward to growing this business.

New Larger Store: 109 Vanderhoof Avenue:
We are growing and need more space! Sport Swap will be moving out of 1541 Bayview Avenue by the end of April. And reopening nearby at 109 Vanderhoof Avenue (formerly Gears Bike Store) in early May. And Boardsports will be joining us in our new location. The new store is more than 4x the size of our current store. So we will have tons more space for both new and used items. And an improved service department will get your skis, boards and bikes tuned for optimal performance. The new store has tons of parking - over 100 spots - no more driving around the block searching for a tight spot on Bayview!

New Store Name: Northline Sports
With the merger of Sport Swap and Boardsports under one roof, it is time for a new name. The new name will be Northline Sports. And a new website will be launched later this year.

Sport Swap and Covid-19

Sport Swap is adapting and moving forward as the virus situation develops. Retail businesses in Toronto have been limited to curbside pickup only. Sport Swap will be making changes to keep serving our customers.

Sport Swap will continue to be open seven days a week. Besides curbside pickup we will be offering curbside drop off for skis and snowboards needing service. In the coming days we will be expanding our efforts with more phone and online shopping options. We ask that you contact the store via phone or email before your visit. We will provide you with information to help your shopping experience.

We are with you as citizens of this neighbourhood, this city and this planet. We look forward to serving you through this winter for years to come.

Thanks

Let's start spring with a big bicycle sale!

Every New Bicycle In Stock Is Sale Priced

Let's put March behind us and look forward to longer days, warmer afternoons, some fresh air this April. To give Spring a boost, Sport Swap has put every single new, in stock bike on sale.

Spring days are here for us to enjoy, let's enjoy them on two wheels.

The story so far.

Sport Swap is adapting and moving forward as the virus situation develops. Bicycle shops have been included on the essential businesses list and we will fulfil that responsibility the best we can.

Sport Swap usually targets April 1st as our first day of bike season and this year will be no different. We have put the ski shop into storage and are unpacking the bike shop.

Until April 1st Sport Swap will be open from Monday to Friday, 10am to 5pm. After April 1st we intend to be open our regular bike shop hours.

We are with you as citizens of this neighbourhood, this city and this planet. We look forward to serving you through this spring and the summer to come.

Making lemonade when it's raining lemons.

Each spring Sport Swap aims to open for bike season April 1st. This year we are still setting up the store as usual but of course there is nothing usual about 2020.

We don't know what's going to happen in the next few days or the next few weeks. But we'll be here for your cycling needs when we're all on the other side of this situation.

Thanks!
