Congratulations to McBride Mountain Sports (formerly Ride 'n Hide)

[Wanderlust]

Just wanted to put out a big congratulations to Denise and her hardworking staff at McBride Mountain Sports. It's going to be great to have a place in town to go to to get outdoor gear and rentals year-round Good luck with the grand opening this weekend and we wish you all much success in your endeavours!

One the major complaints from last year was that the lineups and waits were too long. With two places to go, the service will be so much better. There will be more parts and accessories available, quicker repairs and if one place doesn't have something you need, chances are the other shop does. This is a great thing for our little town!

Totally agree-it's good business for EVERYONE.

This might be a dumb question in such a small town..
But where are they located ??

 

[snowhunny]

They are located on Main Street, right after the "Welcome to McBride" sign when you first go into town. They have signs and sleds outside. It's the newest building in McBride so it's hard to miss!

You can`t miss them, they are on main street.

It is possible that with 2 similar businesses in town that now neither will prosper and both will suffer and eventually one will remain.



However, they will be short term benefits to the consumer. More selection, the ability to do business where the service is best etc. Us sledders/atv'ers will vote with our money and that will determine which shop remains viable for the long run. I personally had an issue with Denise some years ago. I therefore will spend my $ at glengines and will continue to do so for as long as I am satisified.

It is nice to have a bussiness in town that will rent not only sleds and such, also the day to day things we need in this town to make our lives easier eg. equipment rentals. It is a very nice shop and will do well, as will Glen with his. Lets not rain on anyones parade and support each other! Times are tough enough as it is.

My thoughts exactly. Can't see 2 surviving long term. But i've been wrong before.

Good to have two shops going, We have been going to Mcbride for some years now, but I have noticed on some posts or boards in the last few months, it is of my opinion only that there seemed to be some sarcasim toward Denise`s shop and all for Glen. I say good on her for getting back in business. Like a post earlier service is where people will go. I hope I didnt sour any ones grapes here!!!

McBride and the Robson Valley has not been immune from the economic downturn that BC has been facing. For those who aren't aware of the situation here, the're really isn't any more industry and therefore no more jobs and families are having to make tough choices. Those of us in the oilpatch understand the sacrifices that have to be made sometimes to have a quality of life.
Anyone operating a business at this time, is taking on a huge amount of risk, but not only that, they are also investing in a community whose future is at stake. People need jobs, and these small businesses in McBride (and other towns) are what are currently creating them. Let's try to be more supportive of all small business owners everywhere.
Remember, if you're happy with our service tell others, if you're not happy tell us.
