Quebec outdoor retailer La Cordée is shutting down after 73 years, ending a six-year turnaround that included new ownership and store expansion. The retailer returned to creditor protection in July 2026 with more than $13 million in obligations.
The first location for the retailer in downtown Montreal is unique in this country for what's contained within the 25,000 square foot space. More stores are planned says its President.
The 60 year-old retailer which is said to be Quebec's version of MEC is growing its operations with a new highly experiential concept store. More are planned.
