Arc’teryx reopens its Yorkdale store

As the wise say, when one door closes another one opens. Such is true of outdoorsy brand Arc’teryx, whose new store in Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre is a grand step up from its original mall location. The space scales an impressive 2,043 square feet of retail space and brings the outside indoors with a digital display mimicking large-scale mountains — a nod to the brand’s Canadian roots.

The new shop features a wide assortment of high-performance products pertaining to running, climbing, hiking, snow sports (all tested in the harshest of environments, as Arc-teryx does), as well as lifestyle clothing, shoes and accessories.
