Featuring interactive ski-, snowboard- and golf-themed video walls, e-commerce screens, ‘holograms’ and radio frequency identification (RFID) shoe displays, the 4,181-m² (45,000-sf) Yorkdale and 6,968-m² (75,000-sf) Square One stores follow the digital retail example of Sport Chek’s Western Canadian flagship locations, which opened in 2014 in the West Edmonton Mall and Metrotown in Burnaby, B.C.

The Yorkdale store features a ‘digital portal’ entrance, digital art mosaic and 257 Samsung screens, while the Square One store features an event space with two curved light-emitting diode (LED) video walls and 226 Samsung screens.
