I would still dearly love to know why they don't sell climbing gear.
I'm guessing MEC don't sell hunting and fishing gear because it was founded by a bunch of hippie dippie vegans or something but what the hell is Sail's problem with climbing? Is it unethical in some logically twisted way?
Ok...so Mountain House grub is not on sale and is actually a dollar more than at CT.

The Children's Place to close 300 stores
June 12, 2020
Dive Brief:

June 12, 2020
Dive Brief:
- With e-commerce up 300% quarter to date while about 95% of stores were still closed due to the pandemic, the Children's Place said it will abandon many of its mall locations for good. Overall, e-commerce in the first quarter rose 12.2% to about 53% of net sales. At the start of 2022, the retailer's mall-based portfolio will represent less than 25% of its total revenue, CEO Jane Elfers said.
- Executives said 300 stores will permanently close in the next 20 months: about 100 by the end of the second quarter for a total of 200 closures this year, and another 100 set to close in 2021. About half of the first set of closures will take place in the next month and a half, with most of them expected to open briefly for liquidation sales, CFO/COO Mike Scarpa told analysts, according to a conference call transcript from Motley Fool.
- The dramatic pivot came as the company reported that first-quarter net sales fell 38.1% to $255.2 million. The retailer swung to a $114.8 million loss from $4.5 million in net income a year ago, with a gross loss of $19.7 million from gross profit of $152 million last year. That was a 990-basis point downswing to 26.8% of net sales, primarily due to the higher costs of e-commerce fulfillment, along with the fixed expenses of closed stores, according to a company press release.
The Children's Place to close 300 stores
The retailer saw e-commerce soar 300% while stores were closed due to the pandemic, but losses were exacerbated by higher online fulfillment costs.

Not to be confused with the fried chicken restaurant of the same name that shares the same parent company as Burger King and Tim Horton's.
All that workout went for nothing here
Excellent for workouts

Their stores makes no sense even prior to COVID - it's cluttered and doesn't work well as a Microsoft showroom at all.
