THERE'S MUCH more than a simple sports store name
change behind last month’s official corporate switch-over
seeing the North Vancouver Norgate Plaza Collegiate Sports

reborn as Sports Experts.

“We are literally sports  ex-
perts,’’ said North Vancouver
Sports Experts store manager Jo-
Anne Bourke.

With Sports Experts, Canada’s
largest sports and leisure retail
chain, Bourke and her 25 staff
members are plugged into [IC-
Intersport International Corp., the
largest world-wide sports and
leisure buying retail group, with
3,500 member retailers in 16 coun-
tries.

“The buying group gives us
more buying power, which
translates into iower prices to the
consumer. We also have exclusive
access to a lot of name brand

equipment and clotning nor
available in other stores,"’ said
Bourke.

The North Vancouver store is a
full service sports store including
equipment servicing on everything
from skis and bikes to racquets.

Fully one half of the retail space
at the store is dedicated to display-
ing the latest trends in sportswear
fashions.

But it’s not all fash.

Bourke says the store's siaff,
regularly trained by manufactur-
er's reps, is always on top of
what’s hot on the cutting edge of
sporting goods and services pro-
duct knowledge.
