A store designed by women and for women. That’s Sport Chek Women, which made its debut on Thursday at CF Chinook Centre, in Calgary.
The 16,000-sq.-ft. store is the first women’s-only concept from Sport Chek, a division of FGL Sports, Canada’s largest sporting goods and sportswear retailer. The new store was designed by an in-house team of women from different disciplines across FGL Sports. Take a video tour of the store

The store offers an array of personalized services, including a private area for bra fitting and a section where customers can have their gait analyzed to help select the correct running shoe.
