MEC Returns To Canadian Ownership

MEC’s CEO Peter Hlynsky shared out some exciting news today, effective today a Canadian investment group will become the majority owners of MEC…

At a time of uncertainty in the world, this piece of the puzzle falling into place feels like perfect timing. We are proud of our uniquely Canadian heritage at MEC; this moment sets the stage for our next fifty years together.

As a Canadian, a long time member of MEC, and now, as its CEO, I believe there’s no other retailer like us. We’ve made it our mission to equip you for a lifetime on the trails. MEC has been uniquely defined by our members and community, and you continue to play an important role in shaping our future. The MEC experience will continue to evolve alongside your needs, buoyed by expertise you can trust.

I am delighted to share the Canadian ownership news with you first. I look forward to seeing you out there.

For all the trails ahead,

— Peter Hlynsky – CEO of MEC
