Sportèque celebrates 50 years of sports and outdoor expertise in 2026
Since 1976, a trusted outdoor and sports store in Drummondville
Since 1976, Sportèque has supported people who love sports, outdoor activities, camping, fishing, skiing, hiking, kayaking, climbing and year-round adventure. In 2026, Sportèque proudly celebrates its 50th anniversary, a major milestone for a local store that has grown with the Drummondville community and with generations of customers.
Located at 760 boulevard Saint-Joseph in Drummondville, Québec, Sportèque is more than an online store. It is a real physical store with a large in-store inventory, specialized departments and experienced staff who help customers choose the right equipment for their needs.
For 50 years, Sportèque has been part of Drummondville’s local retail landscape. The store serves customers from Drummondville and the surrounding areas, including Victoriaville, Saint-Hyacinthe, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières, Montréal, the South Shore and other regions of Québec. Many customers are willing to travel to Sportèque because they want real expertise, a broad selection and personalized advice that is difficult to find in large general retailers.
A local store with a national reach
Sportèque remains strongly rooted in Drummondville, but its reach extends far beyond the region. Through its online store, customers can shop thousands of sports and outdoor products, choose home delivery or use free in-store pickup.
Sportèque ships across Canada, and its customer service information also mentions shipping to the United States, with certain restrictions depending on product type, brand or availability.
This gives Sportèque a strong position in the market: it is a local sports and outdoor store in Drummondville, a regional destination for Québec customers, and a Canadian online outdoor retailer serving customers well beyond its physical location.
50 years of human expertise, not just an online catalogue
What makes Sportèque different is not only the number of products available. It is the expertise behind the sale.
Since 1976, Sportèque has helped customers choose equipment based on their activity, skill level, budget, season and real conditions. This matters for products such as skis, boots, backpacks, tents, fishing gear, technical clothing, paddle sports equipment and outdoor accessories.
Sportèque covers several specialized categories, including:
- alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and snowboarding
- camping, hiking and outdoor gear
- fishing and seasonal outdoor activities
- kayak, canoe and paddle sports
- running shoes and technical apparel
- climbing, snowshoeing and adventure gear
- scuba diving and specialized equipment
- outdoor clothing, footwear and accessories
- seasonal equipment rental, maintenance and repair services
This mix of products and services makes Sportèque more than a store. It is a place where customers can ask questions, compare options and make better buying decisions.
A large in-store and online inventory
In 2026, one of Sportèque’s strongest advantages is its inventory. The store combines a physical location in Drummondville with a large online catalogue that includes thousands of products.
For customers, this is a major benefit. They can browse online, contact the team, visit the store, compare products in person, try sizes, get expert recommendations or select free in-store pickup.
This flexibility is especially useful for local and regional customers. People from Drummondville, Sherbrooke, Montréal, Victoriaville, Trois-Rivières and nearby areas can make the trip knowing that Sportèque offers both selection and expertise.
